Make a new Friend

Interesting, but I don't think anyone can call themselves a Pro once they start selling a few images, there is a massive difference between making some money and treating yourself to a new bit of kit every year, to making a proper living and being able to support yourself and Family.

true words. but also nothing completely new, if you are long enough takin pictures here and there. You really do know all that.

I took privately some shots on a wedding and observed the hired ppl for that and checked out their results. In many ways I had to tell that it was horrible what I have seen there. Okay clients do not know if it is good or not, when the pics are just something else than the self made shots ...

Now I will do them a shooting at the baptist event of their baby with a extra session. I decided to arrange a price per pic pure/processed they will REALLY want and like. Well for me it will be some kind of training and new experience and I can be sure not get paid only for work/results they really do want.

And yes I do think my work isn't good enough to claim me as a professional. I'm just realist.

regards. nevertheless interesting news (better than the fav stuff hehe )

Every single one of these gives exactly the same advice but they always seem to be missing something. The consistency of them points to the advice being sound though and this one is better written then many of the others floating around.

Non-photographic works: [link]
Blade with whom I have lived, blade with whom I now die, serve right and justice one last time, seek one last heart of evil, still one last life of pain, cut well old friend, and then farewell.

Same advice; people are spending less because of the economy. Photographs falls into a non-essential category unless it is a very special event.
