There is certainly a dicotomy here. On one side the pros loosing market, on the other newbies wanting a piece of it. However, if many give in to promote their work, the market gets diluted and everyone, but photobuyers, loose. As Joe (kelpfish) pointed out, this stems from a basic concept of supply of demand, which, of course, is not restricted to photography. So what do other professional classes do to keep their standard (and $)? ...some make unions, some impose regulations, etc... However, this seems an almost impossible task with a professional practice that most often derives from hobby/vacation/fun to begin with.... and will likely result in pro UW photographers having to work even harder to make ends meet.

Nice selection of shots... My favorite is the blue-eyed sole... Andre

Thanks Richard! Andre

Hi all! This is my first post at wetpixel, and I would like to share with all a new gallery site I have been working on lately (this is my first attempt to showcase my work online). I would greatly appreciate any critique for general webdesign, usability and image contents.... I haven't added all galleries yet, but I think there is enough to have a "feel" for the site Thanks for any comment and I look forward to participating in wetpixels forum discussions I have already seen many excellent articles/posts here..
