Sion and Fellow Listreaders: The problem here is that "We're" not a single group speaking with one voice. In fact, "we're" several groups that often compete brutally against each other. It seems to me that the first step is to recognize that there isn't a unified voice. Each of us is here with a goal of some sort or another and for many (if not most) running a profitable photography business might not even be one of them. The internet gives us an unprecedented window into the thoughts of our competitors. I am astounded to learn that most of the people who would (in other times) be going against me head to head are instead stuck in a morass of low-paying agencies, technical excuses and other foolishness. This should be gratifying, but it isn't really - it's creepy.
