I also think digital opens more doors for income for photographers, you are now not just the image creator but the lab and fed-ex so you can charge for these services. I ran into a fellow I know yesterday who shoots for a local paper, as he was leaving I noticed him carrying something and asked "Is that a video camera?" he said yep, its a multi media world...I answered that I was glad to be out of news photography then. LOL But this is just one more instance of how it is a rapidly changing world and as part of this world we either adapt of get left behind. I was on the very early edge of the digital transition here and I was only half joking about the multi-media with my friend yesterday as I work in Final Cut almost as much as I do photoshop now. I was watching the Florida trouncing of OSU (GO GATORS) or was it Tennessee (GO VOLS...the "real" UT) claiming their 7th NCAA title in womens Basketball? Anyway I saw a shooter chimping on the sidelines immediately after a play....my gods he was covering a national championship game and chimping the moment play stopped???? Ted how many times did you see great photos after the play stopped? I know I saw them pretty often, on the bench, or in the stands or on the court or anywhere. There is time enough to look at your photos once the game is done, no need for that sitting there when you are supposed to be shooting. Anyway, while I want an M8 I am holding off...I get my M6 back from DAG with the new "MP" frames in it this week and that I am excited about. :) -- Harrison McClary Harrison McClary Photography harrison@mcclary.net http://www.mcclary.net ImageStockSouth - Stock Photography http://www.imagestocksouth.com Tobacco Road: Personal Blog: http://www.mcclary.net/blog
