I'm not going to go into my or Donny's finances here but I can tell you that Donny and I did shoot for at least 3 of the same clients and EACH of those clients spends 6 figures a year with each of us. I also happen to know that Donny had pay sites which generated 6 figures annually.
You're a fucking tool.

It's admirable for you to stick up for your friend.
No, I don't know everything - never said I do.
However, I do hire photographers, both for adult and mainstream, and I have been an amateur photographer for years now, plus own and operate web sites, so I do know a few things about pay in the industry.
In the early years, Donny was mostly shooting for himself. Then he shot for ATK and I have photographer friends that shoot for them, and I know how much they make. I also know some of the same people at some of the companies he shoots for and have an idea about what they pay.
Only in the past few years has he received some big paying gigs. Therefore, given his claims, I don't think my challenge to him was out of place.
Also, don't include pass through money in the total (the money you are paid to pass onto the models as their fee).
Oh, and Donny Christ Superstar, quit hiding behind Aaron's skirt...
