I think u should show how much they make. And some history of photography. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.113.173.69 (talk • contribs).

Pay will depend on region, type, and time period - and is probably beyond the scope of an encyclopedia. As for your other question, see: Photography. Rklawton 03:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Rklawton, why did you delete the image I added? Some people here in the discussion were asking for more pictures. Then you deleted the picture I added with: 16:13, 16 February 2007 Rklawton (Talk | contribs) (removed non-illustrative vanity image). Can you explain me how a close up of a photographer is non-ilustrative? Wikifrikiuser 16:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

A close-up image of yourself taking a self-portrait illustrates vanity pretty well, but most photographers take most of their pictures of something or someone else, so it does little to illustrate this article. It doesn't help that the image lacks any artistic merit even though photography is an art. See also Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Sorry to be so blunt, but you asked.

The image represents the point of view of someone being photographed by a photographer, and of course the best way to accomplish this is with a self-portrait. It's funny you that talk about vanity when you added one of your pictures to this article, a picture that doesn't add anything at all to the article. I can't see any artistic merit there either.
