This is a very good read and poses some issues that many are fearful to face or comprehend.

Simply put, photography is becoming a devalued practice because of the simple prevalence of imagery.

Then you can follow that up with a rant about the notion of Creative Commons licensing eating away at the value of photography.

Where is the industry and the craft heading? Who knows, all I do know is that pricing for photography was stuck in neutral for over a decade before the flooding of the market with cheap digital camera equipment and tools and photographers. I'm thinking the yoke for the photo plane is pretty much stuck in the forward position and picking up G's.
