Larry, That's hard to figure, depends on how good friends they are. Based on seeing you work in Chicago, you'll surely shoot enough pictures. And the quality will be good, but you'll have trouble editing it all down. You could shoot 400-500 pictures and have to choose the best 50. That's not easy. I think you have to charge them for the time 6+ hours at some nominal rate, less than $100 and more than $25 per hour for friends. For somebody who walked over to your table, saw your pictures, and just asked, I'd think about it some more...probably double the above rates. You really don't want to sell yourself at $25 per hour. You're a better photographer than that! Regards, Bob S.
