That's kind of like the argument people made when it was revealed that Lena Dunham hired unpaid musicians to play gigs at her book signings. Or the argument for any kind of undervalued/underpaid labor, which never adheres to reality. How many photographers have enough financial security to walk away from a job like…

I've come to acknowledge that they're apples and oranges, but still, there's a reason why I as an American have been following Virtue/Moir for so many years.
