wanneer komen hier eens echt goede foto's te staan? Die van Digital Frog komen al aardig in de buurt...
Hey Richy, so I'm in the neighbourhood now hey ?
I actualy take this as a compliment
Looking forward to meet in one of the upcoming party...
But it's true that this thing can be a b...h.
I often don't get paid, and I often have the feeling I have to beg to get a few free drinks. I can buy my own okay, but it's the principle. I sometimes have the feel the club owner is doing *me* a favour been there doing photography for free... "yeah, you are lucky, your got free VIP tickets" ..... right, I don't feel I'm there to party when I take pictures...
Even people with the cash don't pay... even been published in nation wide Dutch magazines does not always pay....
Feels it's hard, again that just may be me, to jump the gap where quality is soo good that people are ready to pay.
It night not be be what matters though. I refused to give away some of my pictures for free, and saw some people settling with really bad pictures instead. (eg free crap is good enough, higher quality for money ? no way....)
Don't take me wrong, I don't pretend being an artist or anything, but in fact if I look at the income I'm making from my photography I can pretty much say:
- emotional value of my pictures: medium to high
- market value of my pictures: low to very low.
Saddening.
Actually, maybe it would be an idea to have all the PF meet one day for good talk and lot's of drinks ?
