Using those numbers, wedding photographers are GROSSLY underpaid!
Because that works out to 52 weddings per year, for $100K - and that
works out to less than $2K to shoot a wedding, deal with the clients,
AND provide the albums, prints, processing. By the time someone covered
their expenses, they might as well be working at McDonalds.

And of course most aren't the same quality as ol' Annie - whatever THAT
means. But I guarantee you she isn't doing a shoot for $1900 bucks. ;-)

Hey, if it weren't true, they wouldn't print it, now would they?

The "journalist" says a wedding photographer can make $100k working just
2 jobs each weekend for 6 months of work, and they're not even of the
same quality as Annie Leibovitz.  :)
