I have to say that these conversations of the last few weeks have been great. Very candid with thoughtful exchange of ideas.

I don't think there is an easy answer. Times are a changin', but, that is *always* the case. Professional photography will not die out, it IS harder. Online resources help teach people the basics. The easy and cheap access to good equipment.

One of the best compliments I have received was a woman at a show said "Now I see how you get those prices". She is one of those that pulls no punches and says what she thinks.

There are a lot of photographers that are better than I am. There are many things that I am just not good at. What I must work on NOW is marketing and business. Something I am not so good at.

I hope these sort of discussions continue.
