[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 176937, member: 14629"] I heard about that and it's unfortunate, but frankly I don't know enough about the circumstances to fully understand what happened. From an economic point of view, I do understand that newspapers in general are treading water, most have massive debt and aren't financially viable. Seems to me in the last couple of years, the Washington Times (?) requested a government bailout. One wonders how any of them managed to keep the doors open. And, it makes you ask: If the [U]Chicago Sun Times[/U] is that deparate, how much longer before more layoffs in other departments follow? I sense a bit of anger in your statement and I can tell this discussion could get real ugly, and maybe as an amateur photographer I'm wading in to the deep end over my head, but frankly I stand by my statement. And what I'm about to say next is not meant to be callus or hurtful, but [I]talent, skill and training[/I] don't assure anyone of gainful employment. It simply affords a person the ability to make an opportunity or be available when opportunity knocks on your door. It's like Louis Pasteur's statement: [I]Chance favors the prepared[/I] [I]mind[/I]. Simply quoting from the link posted by [URL="http://nikonites.com/member-1573-ohkphoto.html"][B]ohkphoto:[/B][/URL] The Huffington Post had an array of 50 images and 2 of them came from non-professional sources. So, IMHO the elements that separated the pros from the _______ (fill in the blank) were [I]talent, skill and training.[/I] FWIW Cheers [/QUOTE]
