Some do though. They see the value of someone who knows what the hell they are doing with a decent cam. Phone pics look nice on a phone.. print that at 16x20 size. People don't do prints anymore though, which is the best thing about photography. I look every day at a 4x6 print of my kid playing hockey, that I bought from a different photog.. cost us $40 years ago when we really couldn't afford it.
