That's one of the pitfalls of a profession in which there are also many amateurs - some of them very, very good. Musicians are in the same boat. Nobody does plumbing, medicine, drywall, law, or...

My favorite musician story (a foaf/joke) goes:

A wedding planner called up a band to play for a wedding reception and, when quoted the price, was aghast at the cost. The musician told the planner...

And that is why, as a Structural Engineer, I try to contract with the owner directly instead of through an architect. Not only do many work for free intentionally, a lot of the rest are very bad at...

But they won't. Wage slaves will suck the tit of the corporation just as the upper management will. The era of cottage industry and self reliance has given way to corporatism and socialism walking...

I agree. Thank God for the photojournalism which bore the weight of the new American country through the birth of our nation. Without photos, the inelegant prose of our forefathers would have...

With modern technology it is orders of magnitude easier to get a usable newspaper photo than it was 30 years ago. With modern technology it is no easier to get cohesive prose than it was 30 years...

My wife recently had to go through ~40 years of old papers for a local building's 50th anniversary. The quality of the paper from 30 years ago would be something I would pay for - it was all local...

I have to come down on the side of the school, here.  The exact conditions aren't described, but I gather you were taking pictures of your sons at a football game, not covering the sport as a...

It depends on whether the quality of the final product leads to marketing photos for the hospital and $300-$1000 a piece plus per-copy prices for their print advertising. Does that cut into the...

Those of us old enough to remember when the web was was born know it's a soft G. I lump those who don't in with AOL and Yahoo users who came along to spoil the internet with their idiocy.

And...

It's pricey for a cropped sensor, though it does avoid some issues (you get the sweet spot in the center). As for the length - I still have a Tamron 35-105/2.8 I bought for my F4s and use on my...

This is good news for everyone who swears by their Leica glass and wants to continue shooting with it. The problem is that every digital camera is disposable these days - you're essentially buying...

Never throw the frog into boiling water.

They feel they have the market cornered. AutoDesk does this in the CAD space. Architectural work is very, very heavily in AutoDesk's corner and there is so much legacy code out there they have you...

Actual seats of paid Adobe won't be going down unless they choose to undermine their market by providing full featured, bargain priced versions for future tablet operating systems.

Most of the...

This is about enforcing a uniform retail price, with no discounted versions floating around. I'm sure there are some of you who picked up PS or CS5.5 right before CS6 came out when Adobe had their...

So for $240 a year I get only Photoshop. I usually pick up the "previous" version on sale, as I can go for 2-3 months at a time between uses (hey, I'm busy, and it's not my business). I got CS5.5...

This is probably going to be true, except for the $300 part. There's better than a 50-50 chance that I'll ditch my iPad when I refresh my laptop. I love the form factor of the iPad, but so little...

That's certainly going to be a trick. Maybe, if it works, Adobe can back-port all of the memory management and code efficiency it will take to get Lr running on a tablet back to their desktop...
