If you must know, I'm still working as a photographer and webmaster. The only difference is that now I'm photographing cars and managing dealer websites. When the local auto dealership hired me to create an online presence and online marketing campaign for them I started doing research. I spoke with dealers all over the area. The overwhelming feedback I received was that they didn't have time to photograph their inventory and put it online.

Their internet sales managers told me they don't like doing anything "technical" with their websites (such as adding photos, changing descriptions or changing anything else that needed changed).

Hey, what a need, eh? And right up my alley. I have the photo gear and "know how" to both photograph their inventory and update their websites. I found a company that does something similar in a different market and met with them, leasing their "back end" software to make my job a bit easier (don't have to develop it myself).

And now I'm once again back in business for myself. Now I show up once a week to each client, photograph their inventory, figure out what they want changed on their website, and handle it.
