Thanks, George.  Ideally, I would make a living with honest, 
straightforward, documentary photography. :-(
I would like nothing better, but in today's marketplace I can only do 
documentary photography as a hobby and sell my soul manufacturing the 
"punchy, contrasty, saturated color subjects and
exploiting those characteristics to the max in their framing and post 
processing" that I can lease as stock.   And since that type of 
photography is really not my cup of tea - I don't do a very good job 
of it either. :'(
Oh, for the old days when documentary photography actually sold!!
