Re: Magazine Cover - thoughts?
Mike, I don't do team sport stuff - but I've seen some of those prices and they make me cringe. This is a pretty special piece and you've spent a lot of time on it. We just picked up a couple of figure skating gigs. They were a referral from a horse show customer whose daughter also skates - so she knew my pricing, but the… -
Re: When does your clock start/stop for timed events?
Exactly.....it is just like with any job you've in the past where you punched a time clock...lets say....manufacturing, be it running a machine or assembly....a 7:00 AM start time would mean to be at your work station ready to work at 7AM not clocking in at 7AM..... Having doe weddings for a long time as a contract Photog… -
Re: Costs per Click!
However you wish to write the cents is fine with me. Here is how I figure the costs of operating the business. I will replace my current lineup of bodies every 2 years, factoring in 1 repair for each body during that time. I currently use 4 bodies. (2) Nikon D3 and (2) Mamiya DL28 I currently use (as main lenses) (4)… -
Re: I've got a problem...
It's just a matter of training yourself out of that frame of mind. I've drug the kitchen sink along so many times myself that I am consciously trying to think about what I'm doing before packing. For example, just yesterday I went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park to test out a 100-400 I'm considering purchasing. I stopped… -
Re: Looking for a good Macro Lens for D90
Just because a lens states it is macro does not mean it is true macro and nikon is squirrely for calling their macro lenses Micro, which is something totlally different....any way not trying to confuse you..but A lot of "macro: lenses are only really very close up lenses and do not reproduce a 1 to 1 (1:1) image (true… -
Re: A learning experience that I wish I didn't have to learn.
I'm not sure why you don't want to do dance comps again seemingly because of how many kids there are. To me that's a great potential market and has significant potential sales/ ROI value. yeah, I have shot 1500 kids in a day and in the event I did, most of them came on the dance floor at least twice and some 6 times so I… -
Re: How much to charge for art copy work?
I am originally from a small town, and have lived in smaller markets. The town that I am from in the year 2000 added their 2nd stop sign, and that is on the other end of the road from the 1st stop sign. They still have 1 school for grades K through 12. Even though I now live in a pretty populated area, the majority of my… -

Re: Assignment #4: Stone
I'm confused, Which Stone? I googled 'stone' and top listing is "1 stone = 6.35029318 kilograms" So should I shoot something that is 14 pounds? Does that include something that cost 14 pounds? If I shoot something 28 pounds would that be something that is too stoned? If I shoot pebbles, wouldn't Fred and Wilma get mad?… -
Re: No respect for studio?
There is studio and there is STUDIO There are multple kinds of studio in my estimation. There is the Walmart/Sears/Target Studio - go in pose in the pre-set setting of the week with the preset camera. One seating/Several poses for $19.95 with the coupon and heavy upsell. There is the Olan Mills or Portait Franchise in the…
