RE: Hello Stemians! I'm Adam amateur photographer, loving dog owner, and hiker.

love it! yes nature photographers (and many other awesome professions) don't get paid much any more but there are so many different outlets nowadays to earn money in a non traditional way. it's just about thinking-and keeping your head outside of the box!

There is, I think photography took the hugest hit. You used to be able to command into the thousands for a wedding shoot. Just a quick look into craigslist and its 500 or less. Its not even worth showing up at that rate. All the micro stock sites really shot down prices.

I once was offered a mere 20 dollars to be in a magazine for a photo that took nearly 3 days to shoot and days of editing, I politely said fuck you and hung up. :/

But we can all hope for greener pastures in the future I suppose. There is a market for anything, you just have to find the market and capitalize.
