Bill said:"Tanya, that is bullshit. What it means is that you shoot an extra couple of rolls of film on any given job to get the number of hits you need,"
- that is exactly what I *do* do now Bill, it sucks though, cause I really wish that I could be confident that I could open the package straight from the lab and know that it would be ok if my client was sitting over my shoulder looking at them as I was, and not feel that I need to "hide" any from them... "increase your prices to compensate the extra material cost, and get on with life." - easier said then done. I feel really bad expecting people to pay for my mistakes, so generally, I just "wear" it, and hope that I continue to improve... "When your hit percentage increases to where you want it to be, which is unreralistic at the moment, but you'll either figure that out on your own, or you'll slit your wrists, you can cut back on the amount of film you have to shoot," - but as Tom said "anything less than 100% means that I am incompetent" as a photographer. What do you (and others) think IS a realistic goal to aim for? "raise your prices again because you are a better photographer, and put the extra money towards something nice." - like, maybe a certain DSLR and then, I could shoot as much as I wanted without regard to cost?!? ;-) " At least thats what I think anyway." - thanks for your thoughts Bill, they are both appreciated and respected. I will never turn down genuine constructive criticism and always take it as it in the nature that it is intended. tan. >
