That's a similar situation to the earlier wonking about desktop  
publishing. In the end one still needed a professional.
The only thing that the squashing of photo prices shows me is how  
mush more valuable photography has become. The real question is  
really how does one adapt to the new demands of the market place. The  
big if is how to figure out how to apply what Coca-Cola, Eastman, and  
Ford did with their products and transpose that to photography,  
without becoming a schlock shop.
s.d.
