I do agree that shooting for free does de-value the work that photographers do. When things comes free, people don't treasure it as much somehow. I really like the post by David Ziser about giving your all to your passion. When we start doing things regularly, the tendency is to get jaded and disconnected from the work. In anything we do, really. The key is to fan the flame so that we are never burnt out or emotion-less after a while, but constantly seeing every event or wedding as an important, wonderful moment that needs to be cherished.
