Equally important is that it also allows us to do work that enhances our own creative lives." It's refreshing to hear this sort of long-term thinking in the midst of 'the credit crunch'. Those who succeed at business in the long-term are people who enjoy their day-to-day work. Of course there are many other factors that contribute to success... but enjoyment, which should come top of the list, often gets forgotten. If you don't enjoy and believe in what you do, then it makes it really difficult to carry on when the going gets tough. Best of luck!!

What I've noticed is Photographers that used to get $100K are getting $25K (for advertising) and photographers that were getting $25K are being asked to shoot for X= and so on... There is always room, and the photographers that don't want to shoot for less will be passed over making that room for new blood. Just had a look at the site and they have wonderful talent.

I know my agency is down 40% at least. And most other agencies are in the same boat, just trying to keep the doors open... It doesn't matter who they represent if the budgets are just not there and the gigs are fewer and fewer, I hope they fair well in this climate... Good luck!

You’d be surprised how many W+K employees end up marrying one another." I loved Chris Hornbecker's portraits last year of W+K employees. He called the project "People We Couldn't Sleep With". “APE: Tell me something that might surprise me about W+K?
