Digital BW, The Print

There was 80Billion Photos taken last year Just in The United States.Also these Stock Companies to build there Libraries Took Everyone From Hobbyist to expert,they didnt care they just number crunched ,so if you had 10 good photos fine,if youhad a 100 fine/
Also Competing Against A $1 photo is pretty hard.
Thats not even Including all "THE FINEART SIGHTS" selling 8x10s for $7.99

Right. So long as there's no license required to sell photographs, there's 
no way to stop people from underbidding the market. The only way up is to do 
better work in a niche market and then keep quiet about it.

It's a slippery slope, where no single step causes the end result. But even 
if pros held their pricing, many categories (most notably travel, landscape, 
senior portraits, and photojournalism) would still have been undermined by 
enthusiastic amateurs, happy to provide images for little or nothing.
