That makes sense. And I hope that it NEVER happens after all Street
Photography is harmless. But still we are living in this crazy world. And
with fine arts publishing being a low volume of sales, compared to other
genres, the cost to insure a SP book may make it unattractive to the
publisher. And, I am not making these remarks to be contentious because I
would like to publish a book of my own street photography, so, I am in favor
of you and anybody else who can open up the street photography book market.
