One of my professional photographer friends is closing up his business. Professional photography is just a really tough business. A good digital camera is cheap, and it will take pictures that are "good enough" for the most people. The final photo looks like it was done by an amateur but is is "good enough" and dang near free.
If you have ever opened a menu at a restaurant and see a photo of food that is just a straight on lighting from a flash, and makes you think, I hope the food is better than the photo, it was done by a restaurant owner, or a beginner photographer. Go to a large national chain and look at the menu, the food photos are way better than the food you will be served. That was a real pro shooting the food. It is not easy to take great food photos. My buddy's place shot food at the pinnacle of perfection. He even shot TV commercials with state of the art movie cameras, just like Hollywood used.
Anyway, after almost 40 years in business, he is closed. We went over to see if there was anything left we might want. I bought a hand truck dolly for $10. On the journey back I had to turn on the AC, it was getting warm in the car. Love running the AC in January.
