Making Money Making Pictures
Do you take pictures of things you like. Only?
Do people who make pictures like your pictures?
Can you take pictures of things you don’t like? Do you like those pictures, but not those things?
Are you bored thinking about this? Insulted that I’m asking? Confused about what this may mean?
Can you name 5 people who make pictures you like?
Would you like to talk with them? Do you know why you haven’t?
If you don’t enjoy making pictures of things you don’t enjoy, or if you can’t make those pictures interesting, then you can’t make money as a photographer.
The photographs have to be useful. This doesn’t mean, sharp, clear, bright, brilliant… it doesn’t necessarily mean those things, though to most people who buy pictures it does mean that, and usually at the low pay end of the swamp, that is all it means.

There is an ecosystem, and there is an egosystem within the mux of commerce and art.
