Any one with a camera is a hot shooter, and everyone wants to see their images published. I have submitted images to magazines for 'the usual fees' and been asked why should they pay me when they get loads of images for free. Having said that I do think the wheel is slowly turning back in our favour and I have had one or two half-reasonable sales lately.
