Then the economy improved and I could make a lot more money doing
something else with a lot less effort and minimal worrys. Besides, I do
not have a bullet proof ego, and the need for relentless self promotion
wearied me relentlessly. I do like to think I have a good eye for an image.
One of the things I want to say is that 12 for 12 I mentioned, was for
routine work. Experimental stuff or learning a new technique was more
like 1 for 100, but you did that on your own not for a client. With my
free reshoot policy I was not about to take a job I did not already know
I could do properly. I guess that is what bothers me about those posts
that read something like, "I just took a job shooting a jewery catalog.
Will someone tell me how to shoot jewery. I need the information real
quick".

Hah! I love it! Thanks for mentioning that, Tom...
Might as well be asking about a quick course in shooting crystal
glassware. Same ol' same ol'.
I'm glad you mentioned that. The raw chutzpah of beginner "shutter
clickers" is just plain amazing!
Much like a male child of 17. Old enough to know he is immortal and can
do quite literally anything he puts his mind to.
Then he spends the next 60+ years of his life experiencing how much he
really _doesn't_ know, and gathering enough skills to get along...
Like the more you know, the more ignorant you find out you really are!
Best, keith
