read this a few days ago. it doesn't effect most of you wedding photogs, though. How many brides can go to micro-stock for their wedding album? How many brides are going to trust a friend to capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment? It mostly effects people like me, who derive most of their income from magazines and newspapers. I'm not worried, though.

someone post the photographer food chain of respect image where wedding photogs are at the bottom and PJs and War photogs are at the top.

That's not funny. I was stating that micro-stock effects some assignments that I would normally get, but not assignments that wedding photogs get. It had nothing to do with a class system and who is more important.

I always thought it was about a class system and who was more important??

Seems that way in most situations..
