<br />I found your post insightful to read. In my own venture into the photography arena, I have found similar patterns, albeit within different photographic industries. That being said, I believe wholeheartedly that it is possible to become successful as an artist but perhaps not strictly as a photographer. The case of supply vs demand seems to weigh heavily in today's economy and for a person to succeed in the field, I feel that they have to remain open to alternatives, persistent in their dreams and become savvy in marketing and business techniques.<br>
<br />Lastly, a person has to really, really love the field :o)<br>
