Default Still free, still learning
A craigslist add posted weeks ago has supplied me with a fair amount of work over the past month. This weekend was a charity walk and a wedding shower. Ive really enjoyed my oppertunities thus far.

The ad is no longer up, but this is what it said verbatim.

"I am looking for parties, family gatherings, or any other social event to practice my photography skills. My services will be free of charge and will include a CD with all of the days pictures. Donations are welcome, but are neither expected nor required."

I was surprised by the volume of responses I received, apparently free photography is a paradox

What about rather than giving them a CD, you charge them for prints?

I have considered that, would be a good way to get feedback too. For my next few I will have to bring that up.
