Mo, you are oblivious about the cost of camera and printing equipment,  
time to process/cost of computer and applications, not to speak of the  
cost of ink to fill the photo printer. The photo mailers are not so  
cheap either, and then there is the actual mailing. $2 is not going to  
do it.

I have never run into a "sitting fee", but $28 for an 8 x 10 is  
reasonable and within what most show photographers charge. I think it  
is a good idea, at least the photographer gets paid for his/her time  
involved.

Photography is my hobby. My very expensive hobby. If I sell a few  
pictures, I don't figure I am making any profit at all. Wedding  
photographers make money, dog show photographers, not so much. You  
have to love it.
