Last week I was paid by a client
to teach him how to photograph interiors.

Last month I was paid to teach another client
how to edit their web content.

Too many similar stories to tell.

I've always told clients that I'm here
to "help" them achieve their goals.
My generous spirit has now become a PR nightmare.

In the day's of drawing boards
and 4x5 camera work
such a notion of "teaching" how to do our work
would not have been possible.
