Digital media was so cheap, you'd shoot thousands of shots, and hopefully have some that were pro-quality in there. I never had any complaints.
You must inherently be pretty good. From my experience trying to find a photog for events, i.e. engineers week banquets, is really hard. So far we've been lucky, mostly be accident (someone is willing to jump in at last minute). Either photog will charge lots of $$$ making it difficult for us non-profits, or they will insist it be locked down on a website, or a horrible watermark. I got into a big argument with one guy who does beautiful photos but so possessive of them, "you don't understand, people may steal your photo and make a lot of money from it! (uh, pictures of engineers getting awards will never be valuable like a rock star that has a wardrobe malfunction). If I do find someone, it's either they get stuck in traffic or have a family emergency. I think my next move is ask some college students that want to participate and show off their skills.
Enough of that bitching. Getting back to Stan Lee, Disney bought Marvel?!?! And also what strikes me is all these characters are more than 50 years old, they keep retreading same themes like cowboy and pirate characters. They may be interesting and timeless like Superman, I guess there have been new ideas but haven't taken hold. Though I kind of miss the old school Scarlet Witch with the tight outfit like a Playboy Bunny costume, long gloves, go-go boots, big hair, etc.
