Or, find a way to make decent money with photography and use it to support
the documentary work - this route has the advantage that you can shoot the
documentary work entirely as you see it, without having to worry about the
ultimate salability of the images.

And the ones that are still here pay nothing - nada - zilch - zero.  If you
are interested in documentary photography, you'd better concentrate on
those photos that can also be sold as stock to textbook publishers - the
only profitable market left for documentary-style photos.
