hibou -- When was the last time you hired a photographer?
Just curious. I see a lot of people devoting a lot of time to justifying high prices for photographers, etc., but I wonder how many of us have actually hired someone. I guess I am thinking mainly portrait photographers here, but... if there's another reason you've hired somebody, share that.



If I want it done right, I put the camera on tripod and shoot it myself using a pocket wizard to fire the camera. But there could come a day when I'd need have something shot when and if that time comes, I'd certainly pay someone I can trust and knows what they are doing. Most of the times at sporting events, photographers that know one another will take pictures of one another (in action) or sharing moments with each other, just to share and pass the time during a time out or slack time in between innings. We pass those pictures onto to each other for free. Jesus........did I say the f word?
