Things have been slowing down in this area for some time. Just as an example, I did a show this summer that traditionally I have made better than $2500+ for the weekend. This year I made $500.
I live in a town of less than 10,000 people. And the town is very poor on top of that. Add those ingredients in and you'll find one of the reasons I dont do a lot of portraits, weddings and such. And the ones I do i can either charge less or dont do them at all. I chose the little something over a big fat nothing.
Most if my income comes from working with magazines and galleries out of the area or I probbaly wouldnt be doing this at all
