[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 365110, member: 29166"] One of the truisms of digital photography is that it has made everyone a photographer. It used to take some time, effort, and experience to get passable pictures, now it's the norm. Note I did not say GOOD pictures. :) The biggest barrier to entering the market as a professional is that there are so many offering the same service, at the same skill level. You take good pictures. So do lots of people. Getting people to desire better images is a challenge. A great many of today's consumers are happy with what their cell can produce. Why should they pay for anything more? If you can figure THAT out and convince others you're worth it and separate yourself from the crowd, you'll do ok. Be sure you know well how to work within your chosen software suite. It will save your ass some day. Trust me. :) [/QUOTE]
