Both Dean and Dave went to work for Manwin. There are not too many gigs out there left for top tier shooters. Dave got his gig by winning the Brazzers contest (as he should have, cause he's a great producer). And Dean... well, he's Dean Muthafuckin' Capture.
Kudos to you for staying on top of your game, Jim. Not being in LA probably helps you tremendously. Do you think you'd be working as much if you were located in LA?
The reason I shoot overseas in various dodgy places is job security. But I stopped selling content to others a few years ago, as it was in my best interest to control the market some instead of making sure others had the hard to get content that made what I did valuable. I turned down an ungodly amount of work over the past few years, but I'm happy I did because 2013 should be a record year for me for online income. I had a slump for a while, but once I re-upped my game, I can only say that the business has tons of life in her yet and an insane amount of money is still out there for anyone who wants it.
That said, we could have a US dollar crash tomorrow and we're ALL out of a job.
