These bright and shiny trinkets could be misinterpreted as cute little pins that have been purchased. The truth is, they have been paid for. Not with money, but with lots of hard work. These shiny trinkets have been earned. Anyone can claim to be a photographer now. The unfortunate reality of our photographic industry is that an uneducated client often chooses a photographer based on price. Or more degenerating to the art form, based on the fact that they can have the images on disc and print them where ever they wish. I had a client ask me why she couldn't just buy the images and print them herself. I gently explained to her that when someone looks at a print, their impression will be about me, the photographer, not the fact that you, the client took my files to some kind of mart and had prints made. I have the greatest lab in the world print my images because when it hangs on your wall, I want to be proud of how it looks. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is what separates me from anyone with a camera. I have the shiny trinkets to prove that.
