I stopped subscribing to your newsletter last year because you push so many cheap ways to sell images and you always seem to be "gloom & doom" about the industry. But I bought a few points to read selectively. This one I read and you are still there fighting at the bottom, Jim. Why not have successful RM Producers (like myself and many others) tell people the facts about THEIR success?? It is not doom & gloom. Are totals less -- yes, for sure. But I still make plenty. PLUS, I know I am not selling my images for $1 for Microstock or higher for RF. I feel that the images are worth more than you do. And I know a lot of people feel the same way --- www.billbachmann.com
