Photography at one time was freedom to be yourself and create imagery you felt representative of your inner interpretation of your individuality.

Now photography is done by cameras that are smarter than the photographers. You don’t have to think, the cameras think for you.

Photography now is all about luck for the shooters are not ready to immerse themselves into a scene, studying your possibilities instead they take snap shots wasting their memory cards with images redundant circulation, if a subject is photographed by millions of people, your big question becomes, why present your hard earned work to a photo agency that could care less how you created the image, just give it to us and we will pay you pennies on the dollar. 

Why would good, experienced photographers accept these criminal minds that are stealing your income and your classic images. Anyone in their right mind would take their images away from these addicts and sell the images themselves.

New comers to the big agencies scam are pretty naïve. You will have a harder time getting your images into a big photo agency because they have millions of images that all look alike. And if you get accepted you will receive peanuts on the dollar for these mega crooks have one goal, money and nothing else. Your images will be bound with others for volume selling is the photo agencies demanding future as they make millions while you get dirt.

In order to get any payment with some kind of dollars sent to you account you will need to move away from those photographers that just click and move on, these are the run and gun photographers that use photography as a toy, fun and every once in awhile create a great image. These images don’t overwhelm the viewers senses for now everyone is a shooter, a photographer that hasn’t any clue how much and how long it will take to immerse themselves into exciting, original images that can overwhelm the senses.

Everyone is a photographer, a shooter, a copycat that sees other photographers shooting a subject with hundreds of other shooters, the same subject which becomes a redundant inability to look deeper into the scene as you move around seeking a composition that will give you the best angle of the landscape in front of you, that will overwhelm viewers of your original, unique image creations.
