Why send the same traffic to a guy who will pay $300 and keep the traffic?

You get the picture. It's called business.

You have no clue what the scene is like.

Maybe the qualitry your work, while looking good for the 1990's or 2000s and selling well enough to afford you a decent living at the time, is just no longer good enough to compete in a tougher marketplace?
I'm either a better shooter or a better businessman. If you could shoot similar to me, then you shouldn't of been working for people paying you less than me.

We were selling our content for better prices well into the 2000s. Today the market has been cut to shreds and shooters are happy to get whet ever they can. Which was the same in 1990 and 2000s, the only difference is the price.

What am I to blame myself for? Seriously answer the question, what am I to blame myself for?

For earning great money when this business was paying great money?

For not shooting custom scenes for peanuts?

As for not being able to shoot what I see around today.

I would of just needed to buy a HD camera.

That's about the only difference I see.
