I'm in complete agreement, although it makes for a difficult business
model, I think.

Sadly, this is true. People don't realize what work their demands entail.
You can use all the classy old film cameras you like, but you can only
charge as if you used a point and shoot digital. Smaller print should cost
smaller price, right?

Well, only because you love them. Maybe we should just start giving
prospective customers an information sheet that expresses our motives and
reasons for charging as we do. Maybe no one should get the opportunity to
take our work off to the Frontier...

Well, there's a better living to be made in accountancy, so anyone young
contmeplating a carreer shuld think about it. Medicine is good, too, my
mother always said.
