The fundamental problem of photography is that you can make as many copies as you want of photos. So anyone can do it. There's nothing special. This is particularly the case these days with digital cameras all the rage. It's so easy, anyone can do it, and so it loses all value. And so people just don't buy photos. This mentality is so deeply ingrained in Japanese people that the photographer becomes "one of us" and so as a result photographers are deprived of any kind of special status.
