I saw that coming decades ago. In fact, in my own small way, I contributed; most of my motorsports photography was done for a small website, for which my 'payment' was the media pass to the event. While I did make a few small sales of images from some events (when permitted by the terms of access) it wasn't enough to cover the film in the pre-digital era. Nowadays there isn't even a market for most photojournalism; local media (newspapers and TV channels) solicit images (and even video) from the general public, and just about everything ends up on YouTube anyway. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
