A well established phtographer of 40 years came to my Computer shop today for upgrades etc, and so we got talking, he didnt want to put me down , but he said he has no idea now why people would like to start photograhy as a career choice, he stated its very difficult now as more and more peole have acess to cameras and photo labs and quite simply most people will not pay for the services of a pro photographer, yes we agreed on quality of images etc, but simply the fact was its a dying market, and he stated he is retiring soon , hinted he is selling all his studio kit as he has never used it, and also comented never to shoot a wedding as he stated that he would feel sick when arriving at a church for a days woth of shooting, made me giggle a bit. He has made his money but in the ariel phtography mainly.As we both agreed the camera now is just a consumable electronic device,he feels like the magic of folm photograpy has been lost
