Photography

sorry, but the majority of people no longer see the value of the photo, few can appreciate the skill in getting a decent pro photo.. or even just a basic event photo. Unfortunately it's a side effect of the digital era... camera phones that do a brilliant job (under typical conditions only), and the very short term nature of the image. For most.. an image now only has value so long as it's trading on their feed. I'm surprised you have not encountered mums thinking they can just use your santa clause and setup to take a pic on their smartphone.. so don't need to pay anything. It's certainly not the industry I entered... can hardly be called an industry now. Sadly I have watched it's slow painful death, especially on a local level, as I was part of it.

It's a shame it is so inappropriate.. woulda loved to make an album of kids just freaking at Santa. I was shocked there were so many. Almsot as shocking as it was hard to find a half decent santa. I'm still wondering at this point if Bad Santa was a movie or a documentary
