Very true.  It is said that the large middle class of phographers is
becoming extinct.  The sad part is that many photographers think they are on
the top when they have no idea where the top is - it is far beyond their
wildest imagination.

If you are using $5.00 paper to produce $5.00 prints the paper costs are too
high.  Why not talk about what you charge to make a print?  I think this
will shed some light on why some consider paper costs to be high and others
to not care what it costs.
