Kent,

I think you answered your own question. It's all of the above. We all like to 
think of ourselves as unique in some way and we are. So then it's marketing. 
Remember that Ansel whom I would have liked to me. Really didn't become 
largely financial secure till later in life when I believe it was a student 
or assistant he had was very good at marketing. Not that Ansel didn't make 
money from his work till then but someone came up with a better marketing 
plan that worked. So yes your vision and drive and skill all are important, 
but if you can't come up with some type of successful marketing plan you'll 
never get your images out of the darkroom and on peoples walls.
