You consider getting paid what I ask giving things >away? That makes no sense to me. I wasn't referring to you, or anyone else being "stupid". As far as making sense, how does it make sense to advocate working for less money? Worse yet, how does it make sense to follow this principle? If you don't think you are making less than you could then perhaps you should do some research and find out how every other commercial photographer works. You, as Greg also pointed out, are doing yourself and everyone else a disservice in this business. It's astounding and exasperating that you should adhere so vehemently to a methodology that is shortsighted and damaging. Mark Rutledge markrut@ticnet.com
