once again, thanks to TeeCee for having us over at his studio! interesting discussion we had, especially about the copyright issues. i think it is important to inform the 'public' that photographic images are just as legitimate intellectual property as music or software. some people think that taking pictures are as easy as 1 2 3, just set up a tripod and click away on the camera.
what they don't see is the amount of time spent learning the craft, not to mention the amount of investment put behind the business. so what you pay for is what you get! although i don't have my own business right now, i can see that this 'undercutting' issue is quite a problem for professionals. like TeeCee had mentioned, it is like a virus. once a client has kena a 'good' deal, it will spread and affect everyone else.
point being, as amateurs, hobbyists, semi-pros or professional photographers...we should ALL take pride in our works and put a value to it.
so sorry zemo and i had to leave early...eagerly awaiting the next one in nov ;p
