A 'Time' Cover for Even Less

Hmmm... I don't get this.

Walmart doesn't do creative portraiture, or environmental portraiture, or exquisite portraiture, or passionate portraiture, or emotional portraiture, or even good portraiture.
The Online Photographer: A 'Time' Cover for Even Less:

"So far, I'm just out. I quit that paper middle of 2008 and have been trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life ever since. I tried the microstock thing, but the stuff I create doesn't sell. I tried portraits, etc., but I can't compete with WalMart. Oh well, things change."
I do not believe price point has anything to do with it.

I've seen way too many successful portrait photographers to believe that Walmart is a serious competitor.

Sorry.

BTW... before you think Time used the picture for $15, read the explanation in the comments.
