So you charge $15.38 US for a shoot and then $1.54 US for a print. Is this right?

That's interesting concept. But, what's the largest size print that one can get from a 46K image. Is it an 8 x 10 you're giving them?

Even though I don't see the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags in HTML, I'm guessing this is said in jest...

I can also burn all of the hi-res images to CD and then give it to the client so they can preview the shoot. THen they can tell me which images they want printed. I always thought that they would buy 10-25 images, but most clients only buy one or two. Many clients simple return the CD and say they don't want to order anything....

Hmmmm....can't figure it out....

Maybe because they aren't free or cheap.

I can't figure out what's funnier here--the sarcasm going around or the reverse sarcasm that Jim is using (straight responses to truly sarcastic comments can be hilarious).
