Photographers are Poor

Photographers takes great photos, some even created master piece but yet photographers are poor. Why would I say that? 80% (figuratively) of photographers can't earn a living just taking photographs. No one would actually want to end up lie Joe McNally on the streets, at least not me.



There's this particular incident that I can't live through unless I publish out. Early this year, I was request to take up a photography assignment for a huge International Convention. People from all over will be visiting and the organizers have asked for my help to quote them a figure. As the budget for photography is finalized, this one guy came up and say that "we usually get camera men for free if we hire video man".

Say what??? Listen here, I'm saying it just once:"A cameraman is a person that holds a camera; a photographer is a person that creates photographs".

Till this very day, he's still waiting for his copy of the photos. Well Mr K, I'm still waiting for the apology! Else, let's see what the free cameraman gives you.
