Ted, this is the true situation indeed. It will turn, when people begin to 
want better results, but the "gear" is allowing many people to make 
recognizable images in even bad situations. In our local paper there are now 
3 weekly articles on photography every week: this in tne TV guide section. 
Photography has NEVER been so popular.

What does have to change is professional photographers no matter who, have
to move with the times and go with the flow in finding another discipline of
photography where they can earn a decent living. WHY? Because whining about
all the free stuff isn't going to change as long as you have the hordes and
hordes of digi-shooters who claim to be photographers when they wouldn't
know a good photograph from a dung heap!

But they sure as hell know how to make digi operated electronic  exposures
of nothing!
