life span of a photographer
digital imaging has both helped AND hindered the industry...the days of the local guy who shot your older sisters wedding...your senior photo and now YOUR childs pixs are all but over...i wonder what the profitable shelf life of a photographer.

If you are a photographer and you sit on the shelf... it's time to find another job, or you'll be evicted for non payment of your rent. Apr 20 06 01:19 pm Link BCG wrote: The medium is irrelevant. A good fashion, editorial or commercial photographer will work his whole life.
