True that. I've run the correlation that this is why corporate America can't run a photo business, i.e. OnRequestImages tried to years ago, they had offices in Seattle with a bunch of desks for a bunch of people to run the business side and tried to get photographers to shoot on spec. It failed miserably because the employees needed a salary, benefits, 9-5 and weren't in it because they had to be, like a career photographer. They needed to turn a profit for shareholders, we need to turn a profit to do what we already love.
