  1. Looking good Tim. Its funny all this conversation of number of photos. I just had a lady from the past call and ask for a cd of images. I politely declined her and let her know she can go through my webpage and buy as many as she wants. Getting me the sale, and not the walmart photo center.
  2. That type of decaling peels right off. Glad you made it out in one piece Ray.
  3. Like I said presentation and reference. Im very familiar with Banks Photography. Tim, I didnt do too hot either today. I know we missed out on this weekend for Lynds Fruit Farm, but we are still talking about going. We have a foreign exchange student and got pretty tied up with her. Did you guys go?
  4. In my opinion you will excel further by not offering all of your photos. Like you said its not commonplace to do so. Side by side with another photographer that offers all their photos, I guarantee I will get a better sale.
  5. From what you guys said and what I saw in the video its all backwards.
  6. Typically "people" starting out in the photography business give all their shot to a client. They feel it will get them business. Digital makes everyone a photographer now. Heres the problem with that. 1. You just ripped yourself off; they didnt even have to do it. 2. Your selling yourself short of what you "could" be. This is why all wedding should have disposable cameras at the table. Its not the photographers job to catch Bob and Joe, and know that you'll like that shot because they havent been together in 5 years. No matter the sweet talk or sob story I have heard I would never give someone all the shots Ive taken. In saying that if Im just shooting to shoot and not make money, I have photobucket for people to take what they want. For example, a lot of signatures and animated avatars are pictures Ive taken at track days or at meets. Back to it, if the senior I just shot was to receive all the pictures I took, their end opinion would be "well they look okay" Its an overall experience. If I deliver only the best shots to them, their opinion has now change to "ahhh these are beautiful". Those two results go to the next person they show and talk about their photos with. Bringing me in the next customer. That's why a "Portfolio" is what it is. Your best shots. Not all of them. Like Tim, I shoot youth sports on the weekends. This is a different league, I take tons of pictures. These are "all" available on smugmug to customers. The only thing I do is delete the OOF shots and upload. Never give all your shots away. And never give a CD of your images. Thats not who a photographer is.
  7. No if it makes you feel better, I use paint thinner to remove tar from the bottoms of car when Im prepping panels for paint.
  8. Son of a Bitch. Thats exactly what I was going to post! LOL
  9. Thats a great price on that. I knew coming in it had a transmission issue. Those damned 03's. Thats a good flipper for someone. Just sold one for 9k with similar mileage.
  10. Ol' PIP, will shut her down in a heartbeat. Glad to see you got it fixed.
  11. 36 disc would be faster. Go get a $2.00 bottle of finger nail polish remover.
  12. U-Haul has learned me their system, Im ready to take your guys' reservations!
  13. I need a 5k to run booth lights exhaust and 1 compressor. Power went out last week and totally screwed us.
  14. For sure. Ill check with the wife and see what the plans are for that weekend. We normally do all our planning the day before with as busy as we are.
  15. Call me at the shop and I can reserve it for you. They havent come back with discounts for me yet. 614.754.8182
  16. That is the truth. Keep that attitude and you cant take your hobby to a whole new level. You've got some great shots!
  17. Trucks and Trailers are here. Call us for any of your moving needs. We can reserve trucks out of other locations to better serve you also.
