I wish I had not used the Cheney photo as an example.  That was not my 
point at all.  After Amazon takes their cut and Getty takes their cut, how 
much of the $29.95 goes to the photographer?  This kind of exploitation of 
photojournalists' work - just look at some of the photos available - 
cheapens the worth of all photography.  It is very depressing.
