^ obviously.  And if folks were still riding horses, there'd be less people on the roads.  So?

I don't disagree at all, good reading and advise.

Lets see 1968, I was either loading trucks at UPS, (during the Summer) working at the book store and working in the photo lab, shooting college sports as editor on the campus newspaper. But funny thing was I wanted to transfer to a college that had a photography program and the JSchool Dept. head where I was said, the market was flooded and newspapers were closing, magazines going out of business, people with 20 years experience were looking for work.

Odd, I'm hearing the same thing now 40 years later? 

I'm pretty happy to be shooting digital and not film. Anyone want some, I have film in the freezer.

Microstock is wide open for someone who is bright and hard working and willing to invest the time, but like anything else, the climb up the ladder is full of people who are already ahead, and making it more difficult.

From what I've seen of the 1980s stock, if the QC was anything like it is on some of the micros, 80% of that would have been thrown away, too. Much of the old stuff was not good. But tastes/fashions/business models change.

If you are looking to make some easy money i don't think is possible anymore.You need at least one year to buid up a good portofolio

RacePhoto:  Rinder might have easily had the longest post, but ironically, in your post complaining about how he put you out of the running, you failed to notice that you easily had the WIDEST post of the year 

If it was 1985, then my crayon drawings of He-Man would never get accepted.
