		<description>Though there is a truth to the statement, but in the end I regularly get clients that tried to do it with their D70 and totally failed. They don't have the knowhow, for example, to take photos of a reflective object. 

There will always be a place in the market for professional photographers in the corporate and commercial world.  No amateurs can offer make-up artists, producers, art directors, transport, 20 lights and whatnot for big productions. I don't fear for my job, quite the opposite things are picking up.

But street, travel and photojournalism photography are certainly under attack.

In "your" domain, travel photography, the market is totally over saturated. In that sector of the market, it is indeed anyone and everyone that has a digital camera on their trip to Paris, Shanghai and the Andives...

The same for photojournalism, my old niche, where everyone has a mobile phone camera and whatnot... fewer and fewer magazines, newspapers and news wires require and demand high standard quality photography.</description>
