This guy is like an ok lot rider doing a few wheelies and pulling out a hat for people to donate before he continues, and then sitting around complaining cause what he enjoys doing costs money
\n
\nSure he takes some good photos, but he can\'t set up a website nor can he figure out a good business model for selling photos.
\n
\nIt\'s like a rider expecting to get paid just because he makes some good wheelies but he can\'t set up a website advertising himself and actually book shows.
\n
\nSo no, you don\'t deserve it if you can\'t go the extra mile, and actually fulfill your claim to being a "professional."\r\n

\r\n \r\n i didnt read all the comments in here but i think 25 for a disc of pics is nothing.... its like going on a roller coaster and paying $30 for 1 pic... but he is selling 1600 super dope high res pics... he is there to support riding and stunters... shit he barely is gonna make enough money for gass and food for his trip.....its not like asking $200 for a disc...i bought a disc and gave him more then $25 just bc i wanted to show support for the man who is showing us support!!

It\'s nothing to pay if it\'s you in the photos
\n
\nEdit: Also, the other problem, is now there is no quality media making it out into the general public from the event. It\'s just sitting on DVDs from the few people who bought em. Release proofs for people to share/enjoy, watermark them, sell DVDs to interested parties, and perhaps make some connections/sell some of the better photos to magazines (doubt many companies want these random street photos).\r\n

Very well put...photographers just don\'t get the recognition they deserve sometimes for all the time, effort and money they put into helping make the sport what it has become today\r\n

If u wanna make money with camera, go do weddings and such. Stuntevents are useless for making money(unless someone actually orders you services and asks specially for you to come down). Just my\r\n
