Michael:
The two agencies I mentioned are known for their high-end sales. Nothing more.
My problem is that while I did want to make those points about film and scanning, I feel that if
I go any deeper in the direction of prices and niches, I'll come off sounding like the bad guy.
Experience tells me that you'll have to come to terms with the rest of the world of modern
stock photography yourself. I've gone where you're going but I don't have the stomach to tell
you what's ahead. It all ends happily enough, but what's in between is tough.
