How does a thirty-something photographer who has never experienced really tough conditions get off on setting the tone for the industry. I know the answer to my question. They can sell more products for their sponsors. Seems to me that there is more money in having wanna-be and junior level photographers "look-up" to the one-name wonders than actually going out and shooting for clients.<BR/><BR/>The one-name wonders are looked as a jokes by the heavy hitters and guess what, they are very good business who are better off as pitchman than photographers.You know my namenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-88115508776646789282009-04-03T00:45:00.000-04:002009-04-03T00:45:00.000-04:00Glass half empty or half full?

Heck, years ago I decided it was half way to the next round.<BR/><BR/>As for photography business, I'm really busy right now, I've done some decent jobs in the last few weeks and getting calls for more.<BR/><BR/>Some businesses I know are really hurting and others are busier than they've been in a long time.<BR/><BR/>Also seeing "sold" signs on local homes for sale.

I'm not sure if it's the lessons we learned from SB2 that I've applied to our studio, but we're actually seeming to be busier than ever and our January was better than the previous year. We're bringing on new staff as well and things are busy. We do a combination of B2C and B2B but B2B is a big portion. While budgets may be tighter, there is still a need for our skills!gene x hwang / orange photographyhttp://pulp.orangephotography.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
