PS - most law firms or architects offices aren't taken over by multi-million
dollar backed businesses who have already bought up 2/3 of their
competitors...

As a CPA, imagine trying to get business where there or 6 or 20 of you
banded together trying to compete against two other businesses who now
control the employment or skills of say 70% and growing of the rest of the
CPA's in the country, having bought up all those other firms/offices.

(it's not an exact analogy, because a photographer is used for both his
present skills, but more immediately, his worth is in fact the inventory of
his images the agency holds).
