In all seriousness: never. I've had editors tell me everything from "I don't know" to supplying a highly detailed rate chart, and I've had editors tell me they couldn't afford the price I set when they didn't have a rate chart, etc etc, but none have ever indicated they were uncomfortable with the question. How could they be? They're in business ... arranging a business transaction .. just like I am. Are you uncomfortable or put off if a provider whose services you need asks you what the budget for a shoot might be? -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- 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.
