I spent most of my career having about 500,000 competitors, but now I have about 250 million folks who call themselves photographers with a cell phone and the only people making real money are digital manufacturing companies.

I’m having a show in July, and the gallery manager already has a huge sign on the door saying “NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED”. > > I'm waiting and I’m sure it won’t be long, before somebody wins a Pulitzer for a series shot on an iPhone. > > Jan > >
