you feel numb when something

you enjoy is taken away, not the

act of making images but being

paid almost nothing for your travels

 

and you are supposed to enjoy the

low prices and still make a good living

as you go into bankruptcy, I will always

make images, I just won’t send them

 

to these corporate buffoons, these

greedy business men and women that

think they know how to manipulate

the photographers, by praising their

 

images and then stealing their income,

they have lowered the bar to the floor,

you can’t go any lower but wait these

corrupt agencies know how to jockey

 

the books, sharing the proceeds of

your artistic skills with other corporate

giants for all the wealthy love to partake

equally of others hard earned work, they

 

praise your efforts building up your

ego and then give you nothing for your

efforts or I should say they give you

nothing but a fear of losing faith in your

 

talent as a photographer and their pay

scale is laughable if it wasn’t so diabolical

as they have open house parties for the

elites to ponder their next scam on the

 

photographer in their million dollar homes

and pat each other on the back at their

good business practices giving 80% to

themselves for they have worked hard to

 

screw the image creator, this scam of

obedience, this herded cattle ignorance

of their demise to make something of

their lives through photography as they

 

sink into anger and then despair, yes,

you are getting the shaft, taken for a ride

on the corrupt pony show that can give

you a clearer idea of how the rich use the

 

very people that made them wealthy, now

dismiss you as just another photog

demanding more for his travels and time

creating great images that the agency is

 

selling for almost nothing, we photographers

have been discarded, scammed, thinking

these mega agencies were for us the

photographers but we should have realized

 

that photographs, videos are a dime a dozen,

a commodity that bases income for the elites

on volume, period! I feel these charlatans,

the owners, investors and banks should stick

 

their heads in the sand for their corrupt nature

of exploiting new photographers that don’t

have a clue how big business has only

one priority and that is profits over people.
