Selling prints is a commercial enterprise, not charity, so why not charge what the market can bear? That is how our economic system works." Obviously this logic is impeccable. The amount of mental work it takes to decide which prints are salable, the amount of work it took, over the years to get to this point- these are all items which should be figured in. I look askance at young inexperienced photogs who charge very high prices for their photography. On the nother hand , if they can get it (and they often do) more power to them. vroger
