Things were getting boring around here! I really am hoping to not do more weddings. And what I'd give them for 10 grand. But charging what i thought in the past were astronomical prices never worked. My first wedding I did for $40 bucks when in college in the mid 70's. I thought I have over charged, hell the film and processing cost half that much! That said at the color rental lab the other day a large bride was coming out of the machine, a 24x30 C print. The photographer had printed his own print. He told me she was wearing a wedding dress which cost her dad something like $30,000. A Rancher from Eastern Oregon. He had spent much money do deal with her facial deformities. $300,000 perhaps. So that was supposedly the a reason behind the expenditure of the dress. Yes, sick and sad beyond belief! so it goes! mark rabiner
