I agree that there is more to this than money, and we have to pay our dues as we climb the ladder of success but these people are selling there books for a lot of money, getting their own salaries paid and yet giving the photographer nothing. i can empathise with someone who is struggling for recognition (God knows, we have all been there) but the way to get it is not by being an idiot.
