This is precisely the problem, and I'm glad you mentioned it. If the cost to produce a calendar-grad image is so cheap that an amateur can produce it, perhaps the force of creative destruction has rendered the traditional photographer to compete on the same ground, perhaps it is time for traditional photographer to reconsider the service they are providing.

So true. The photographers need to get into the calendar making business or some other value-add beyond simply creating images.
