  Now there's the rub, huh?  Famous photographers *can* show inkjet work, not unlike other famous 'artists'
  (famous in other media) showing their photos in galleries...And when asked about why they show the horrible
  (in some cases) quality prints the answer is:  "That's not the point, it's about the 'imagery'" or the like.
  But if you bring in prints that, god forbid, have one tiny dust spot on them, they tell you that you are not
  professional.

  Which brings me to the 'Five Keys To Success'* (in any creative field), in order of importance:
  1:  Who you know
  2: Who knows you
  3:  Your ability to get along with people
  4:  Your technical ability
  5:  Your talent

  The above is neither right, or wrong,...It is a truism.

  Workshops (at least in 1990, when I was their studio manager).
