So I'm coming to a point in my photographic "career" where I'd like to start making money off the images I create. And in trying to deal with such a task, I've come to a horrible realization that all professionals surely go through: a vast majority of people, clients, and companies I've had to deal with simply do not understand/appreciate the value of a photograph.
I remember seeing this article some time ago, and I think it helps get the point across (albeit in a somewhat rude manner):

I thought it was worth posting to spark a little discussion, and hopefully focus it around photos marketed in ski industry.
