Get rid of ALL Digital camera`s and media...........it`s ruined the whole working class of photography, it`s made it a struggle to make money, and have everything PAID for when, every Joe now a days is trying to be a photographer

I`m lucky that I offer a service that FEW photographers can offer successfully, but I`d still get rid of all the Digital crap.......despite that fact it`s faster, I`d rather be making MORE money, and hanging out in the dark room, working and shooting with nothing but Screw Mount/M mount Leica`s and Medium format Rollei`s

I'd force retirement on all the old coots who can't accept the fact that time marches on, technology changes, and old antequated business models fall by the wayside.

When I was your age, everything was up-hill. It snowed every day and we didn't have new-fangled stuff like digital cameras and...HEY, YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!

For all to realize that:

MM and OMP and websites like them are NOT the Industry!!!

You are not nearly as good as you think you are!!!

This is a constant journey, that you never really 'arrive' anywhere.

I don't really think of photography as just one industry....it's comprised of many different forms of making money.
