Whiners

Most photographers complain about:

  • How much better the world was when we were still using film instead of digital? Everything went downhill since Pentax introduced the first behind the lens light meter with the Pentax Spotmatic.
  • How much better the world was when we took 2 or 3 identical photos on Kodachrome so we didn't have to duplicate the photo before sending to a client for review?
  • How much better the world was when we did give our photos to only a couple of photo agencies because we couldn't make duplicates of duplicates?
  • How much better the world was when we had to turn down photo buyers because the photos were somewhere else and we could not get the original back in time?
  • How much better the world was when we got shafted by only 1 or 2 photo agencies?
  • How much better the world was when the agency lost a whole set of photos and we had no backup?
  • How much better the world was when we had to keep a manual list of all our photos?
  • How much better the world was when we had to spend a week searching for this photo? I remember I filed it in one of these slide trays.

The world has changed, digital is here to stay. The Internet is here to stay. Digital in combination with the Internet has lowered the distribution costs to 0, yes Zero. Get with the program and take advantage of it.
