Just curious. I know everybody’s different.

    Point 1: agree! But it’s not that much when you consider it a business expense.

    Point 2: I’m convinced half the people out there offering coursed just watched someone else’s course and changed a couple things around.”

    Point 3: Phones have made the non-photographer believe that anyone can take great photos, so it only makes sense that they don’t want to pay a premium for “something my nephew could do.”

    Point 4: I stopped posting on instagram when I realized most of the people liking my photos probably looked at them for less than three seconds.

      Point 1: I don’t have a problem with the price. It’s the spending money every month for a piece of software.

      Point 2: You are absolutely correct. Same thing for these people who sell presets for LR.

      Point 3: I have actually heard “my nephew can do it for a case of beer”. I smile and say “Hey no worries, we all have to start somewhere.”

      Point 4: I quit posting when I realized the only photos that gained traction were photos of bands that they would turn around and use on their IG and FB without bothering to give credit. Or my favorite, “Hey my girlfriend is a photographer and wants your raws can you hook her up?”
