1/ >>> "Photographers are filled with the desire to make Epic images<<<"

REALLY? In my case it was to capture the moment, sell the image and have
money in the bank!"

2/>>> "That drive gets us up in the morning and keeps us staring into the
monitor  
> after most have said "goodnight."<<<<<<<<<<<

REALLY AGAIN?  Actually it's either the baby crying, to be changed! OR? the
alarm clock at 5 a.m. so I'll catch my flight to Paris!" 

3/>> "AND STARING AT THE MONITOR??  After everybody else has gone to bed???

IT'S BECAUSE THE CLIENT SAID.... "I expect the 150 8X10'S IN MY OFFICE  BY
9.05  IN THE MORNING! " THAT'S  WHAT KEEPS US UP AFTER EVERYBODY HAS GONE TO
BED!!!!

4/ >>> "IT'S WHAT WE DO. WE DO IT BECAUSE IT FILLS US UP!"

REALLY?  I thought it was the beans we had for supper creating all the gas!!

5/ >>> "IT SATISFIES! IT COMPLETES US." 

"YOU BET WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE BANK BOOK AND IT'S FILLED-UP!" SURE MAKES YOU
FEEL COMPLETED!

6/ >>> "It is often nothing less than our reason for being on the planet.<<<


REALLY? REALLY? BULLSH---! Maybe "JUPITER AND MARS?????? 
But twinkle-head here has been into the dope or booze way too many times for
this kind of CRAP! And most certainly never worked his life away as a full
time published SHOOTER week after week, year after year photojournalist!

Sounds more like some "STARRY-EYED HAPPY SNAPPER WATCHING TOO MANY HOLLYWOOD
MOVIES!"

cheers,
Dr. ted
