The result is millions of technically perfect, but creatively boring images.

would far rather be creative
many of my favorite shots are not 'perfect'

LOL, oh yes. Sad but true.PMFJI Lili, but commercial photography is exactly opposite, as I'm sure you know.
Just to add, since I express myself better musically, and I feel that music is a much more expressive artform than photography, I might as well try to make some money with my photography. My creative/ expressive needs are satisfied.
Generally speaking Lili, yes. In my case, and this is going to sound arrogant even though it's just the truth, it's more an embarrassment of riches. I was a creative type of photographer before I ever took up music, but I was always disillusioned with the one-dimensional aspect of photography. Even though I felt I was expressing myself with pictures, most people would just look at a picture for a couple seconds and put it aside. Even though photography has been accepted an an artform, it's incredibly rare that anyone is moved or touched by a picture in a powerful way. In fact, the pictures that have stopped me in my tracks are war photographs and disaster pictures. Edwin Weston's Pepper just doesn't do it. Plus the message, since photography is based in reality, is not always clear. When was the last time you were brought to tears by a photograph? How about a song?LOL, oh yes. Sad but true.
Thats where all the cliche's of starving artists come from
Still you gotta do what you gotta do to stay housed, fed and living
Nothing "pretentious" about that Lili.Player,
Music is indeed a powerful medium
I listen and Dance to it, it moves through me when i do
Cannot sing, sadly
My photography too is important to me at least
to quote Roy Batty from Blade Runner
"If only you could see what I've seen with Your Eyes"
Much of my work will not go on the web
as it is too personal
sorry to sound so pretentious, just the long week and some Jack talking
I submit a lot of pictures to Alamy and to two other stock agencies.I've been doing some research about stock photography, and it seems that the image requirements preclude the use of small sensor cameras like the GRD, Canon G9, and so forth.
Are these cameras just suitable for artsy photos and memory snaps, or are there potential pro applications, besides niche book publishing?
Thanks.
