I shot some pictures for a friend's garage band, and my father thinks I should give the pictures away (mainly because I was using Mitsubishi film). Should I charge only for the hours I spent working, or should I also charge per picture. This isn't the first time I shot pictures for one of his bands. The last time was a couple of years ago. He took all of the proofs, and didn't pay one cent for my time involved, much less the cost of materials. At least I kept the negatives, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that his band brought up shortly after I did the shoot. Marshall Hunt the Younger
