How do you earn a living ?
I have been giving this stuff away for thirty years. People are downloading a
large number of megs from my site which gets between 3 and 10 thousand hits a
week. All for free.
Don't you believe it as to great photographers giving it away for free. Read
any good books lately ? Did you get them for nothing ?
I put in a lot of effort over a long time to get these processes to work. I
could have put it all in a book and charged for that.
I am a photographer not a chemical supplier. Kits are a very expensive way of
buying basic chemicals.
