thanks for the information! one side of my brain says you are right about those economics and that I would never make it on my photography business alone....but the other part of me that is devastated by so many of my friends being laid off (as well as the potential of losing my own job considering how bad off the media industry is right now) has me thinking other things.

Would I be able to pay $75 for one of my own framed prints? I start to think: $75 can pay for several weeks worth of gas, etc. etc. It's like my whole mindset has changed about how I want to spend my money. I wish I could tap into more affluent clientele so I wouldn't feel compelled to lower my rates. I've been offering sales this month since it is the holidays...it's so tough out there.
