Songman's original point, not mine. This isn't really worth pursuing at this point...

That's right I'm the one. My point originally was the difference in a cheap hooker and an expensive call girl is the customer. It is just like a portrait setting. The difference can be in the percieved value.

If you think the only difference between a 10 dollar hooker and a 1000 dollar hooker is their clientele, then you've never actually seen what a 10 dollar hooker looks like :P


I think your analogy does hold to photography but not that it's just the clientele. The quality of the product itself is also inferior on the 10 dollar hence why it attracts a lower quality client.
