What are the 2 books I'm forgetting?? No, I shouldn't think about it. Okay, I had to look and be reminded. Yeah I'm definitely not revisiting those.
So there's a new Nikon out and it costs about $4000. I'm sure it's great. Do people make money as photographers now? With newspapers and magazines going out of business, it doesn't seem like the same vibrant arena that it was when I was a photography major. I'm sure some people do, but like anything there are so many people doing everything.
Seth Godin has a blog post about finding a niche and filling it. I agree. The problem I stated last week I think it was is that I'm sure the slices can be cut real thin and I'm sure even a small audience can be substantial but how do they find you? That's why we need the e-harmonybook edition.
Sorry. Back to the new wonderful Nikon. Is it more wonderful than my D7k? Is it $3000 more wonderful?
Again I'll say to Nikon--just give me a great camera with the least number of bells and whistles that will produce images that will make people keel over they're so fantastic. $1500 tops. I don't need video. And it's in the D7k. I love that camera. But a great part of what makes a photo fantastic is what the photographer brings to it, not what the tool brings to it. It's about vision. It's about telling a story in a meaningful way that touches the audience. 16 megapixels, 36 megapixels. At some point unless you're shooting for a billboard, it's overkill.
Photographers, or writers, need to have their very personalized vision and that's what you're selling.
