Talking Giggle, or groan........

Hiring a Cheap Photographer

Another morning giggle, or perhaps groan, for you.

Since the photography world is overburden with those sorts, now the only way to make money is producing these cartoons. Great idea!

LOL yeah a giggle AND groan, for sure. One problem with this video is that few XWAC's are going to outrightly admit to a potential client that they don't pay taxes or that they don't understand how to shoot in manual, or why the whites in their images are blown. A sad fact is, is that MANY very BAD photographers are actually very GOOD at marketing and convincing people to do business with them. I don't think I would be using this video to explain to potential clients why I charge what I do.

Um....yes, I know this video is a satire...I was just making the point that those who are serious about trying to get the general public to understand why good photogs charge what they do aren't going to get the point by watching this video.
