I love to see how folks can make money in new ways with photography. The clip wasn't specific in just how he makes money. He seemed to made a lot by making prints of other people's images after he made a printing offer on Instagram. Then there's the controversy about whether or not he could use photos (commercially) of other people on the street without releases. The lesson here is that there are a lot of new ways via social media to market your skills.
