From: Jeffery Johnson Well the paid to travel yes but from what I gathered from our conversation after the show is over he is up most of the night editing and getting the photos ready. I also gathered that he takes over a 1000 or more captures during one show. Not sure what age he is, but I vaguely remember being young once and having stamina enough to go without sleep for long periods of time if there was something interesting going on. I expect he may get a few non-show photos in along the way ... if nothing else Britney shopping in Paris, Britney shopping in London, Britney shopping in Rome ... he could always turn around and take pictures of the paparazzi while he's at it. The plus side is it's a paying photography *JOB* and those are getting scarcer than hens teeth. Probably good for building his portfolio as well. He can sleep when he gets home. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

No right or wrong answer just me pondering a question. Jeffery No. It's my belief that a photog has to have a rapport with the subject, human or non-. If you don't really like either, or worse, both... your work will suffer. Even if it's a subtle interplay, I think a deep respect for one or preferably both is critical to the photographer's success. Of course, that's JMMHO. keith -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

If they do, then at least I'm being compensated for the extra aggravation. My photography doesn't support my family, though. I can understand that under different circumstances, I'd take a different approach. From Dr. Murray Banks (1950's pop shrink): A woman when to her priest for counseling; the priest said, 'young lady, if you marry someone for money, all I can say is that you will be rich but miserable.' The woman thought about it for a while then said, 'well, I'm miserable anyway, I might as well be rich.' ... My photography does support my family but I take this approach. Usually when negotiating, I start off with my 'standard' rate: if I like the project and the client my price actually becomes negotiable; discounts or freebies flow happily (maybe a Filipino/Asian thing). But if I'm facing the prospect of a client from hell, everything gets a price and the total cost actually creeps up. If they find me to be too expensive and looks elsewhere, they deserve that 'cheap' photographer, but if they take me up on my price...well, I'm rich :-) That answers the issue of taking on unpleasant assignments in general; the specific issue of taking on the job as a band tour photographer is entirely a different issue though. My life situation would probably not allow that option any longer.

Of course I'd take it if I needed a job, and it was a good deal. What or who you photographs is irrelevant if you're a pro. Doctors don't treat only those people they find unpleasant or unattractive. Mechanics don't refuse to work on cars they don't like. I shoot anything and everything that someone hires me to shoot, including a lot of things I don't like.

Re: OT: No right or wrong answer just me pondering a question.
You wouldn't want to wear earplugs, because that would get in the way of doing a good job. You would study their music and make sure you photographed them in a way that complemented whatever it was they were producing. I worked on Buick advertising at a time when Buick products were pretty awful, but I embraced their best points and enthusiastically worked at presenting them in their best light. It was my job.

RE: OT: No right or wrong answer just me pondering a question.
Well now I am sure one would by a certain point already know at what point and what music or song will be played. For one's hearing it would be wise to wear earplugs especially if you will be at all concerts. This really was not meant to be a deep topic just something I was pondering during the day and especially while I was sitting in traffic on my way home this afternoon.

Re: OT: No right or wrong answer just me pondering a question.
You'd be a fool not to wear earplugs. They don't block all sound, they attenuate the volume and protect your ears from hearing damage. You'll be able to hear the music fine, and still be able to have a conversation with the people near by. Besides that, if you are touring with them, you'll know the routine after 2 or 3 stops.
