It has really slowed down in the area we reside. On my website {MS frontpage}, I have a "grabber" price. When someone inquires I quote the $1200 fee for 5 hrs of coverage, the images a few enlargements and all 4x6 proofs up to 75. The next thing I get "well on your site it says". When I explain that is just for a cd of the event they answer with, thats ok I am pretty good on a computer and I'll print them myself.... go figure. Next thing you know a week later they threaten to sue cause the colors are off and the Walgreens person said they can't crop it correctly or the enlargement is off.... Go figure... I'm a "p/t" photographer who will not undercut or throw the standard off to make a lil money. It's getting tough down here.... Lucky I have a day job to support a p/t job I enjoy... Good Luck...
