Reminds me of a similar conversation I had with a former co-worker about
a year ago. I hadn't seen him for two years and he asked what I was
doing. I told him I had decided to semi-retire, got out of the high
tech business altogether and was working as a photographer. His
response was to act a little incredulous and said something like: "Wow!
That must be tough. Now that everyone has a digital camera I wouldn't
think there would be any work left for photographers."
