It points to a basic fact of photographic business: selling prints is  
not the way to make a living at it unless you are selling a LOT of  
them, or selling fine art prints through a gallery ... and even then  
you have to have the right connections and the right gallery to  
promote your work.

Selling rights to the use of images in publication is the more  
lucrative end of the business for me. I've made much more money from  
selling one photograph for a book cover than I've made in three years  
of selling dozens of prints at the galleries.
