I actually got one of the funniest jokes I know from a screenshot in OS/2 Magazine. For the work you do, what you say is absolutely true. But we were, I thought, talking specifically about photojournalism. You don't use photojournalism. You use editorial photography. Two different animals, and two different purposes. I don't denigrate such work. It's difficult to produce as well, but it hardly inspires the passion that the kind of photography I care about does.
