Sort of related to the conversation. Pay attention to the part where stock photos are mentioned. The article references a very budget oriented project, but I feel it is still relevant.

As for true keepers - and these are what I'd consider to be "frameable" and suitable for show competition - I am very happy if I get 6 out of every 100 that I want to do additional PP on for the purpose of display. I can only hope for that level of "wall hangers" unless I have a very successful day! sapearl wrote in post #9177574 I know where you're coming from Mr. Kirk. My family and I have had some very interesting conversations over the years. My father was a professional artist for nearly 7 decades and also taught high school art ( http://pearlphoto.blogspot.com …ite-flats-and-my-dad.html ) My sister is an art professor at the local college ..... we often talk issues of quality vs. quantity.... and how things will often ripple back and forth between the painted canvass and the optical sensor.And here as usual, is where it gets into the matter of educating the buying public, or at least demonstrating the differences between the high volume hack, and the carefully composed Capa. Some refer to this as marketting .And that is where the true professional manages to score - the ability to market his output at a level where he can make a decent living. Having a camera makes you no more a photographer than having a hammer and some nails makes you a carpenter - Claude Adams
