To be cared for

All around the web photo journalists are complaining about the decline of their business. That it's becoming harder and harder to make a living out of it.

The solution is simple. Pick your subjects carefully. Don't fly to problematic countries. Don't work among the poor and suffering. Go where the money is, and you'll be cared for. And it's often just around the corner.

This is what I mean. Just a mile from my home, went there by bike. Costs: zero. Pictures sold: zero. Bonus: free food and drinks, including, of course, champagne.

(It's a product launch of a new mobile network brand targeted at women. All journalists present were men. No wonder I didn't sell any photos.)
