You are correct...and yes! It's from Cacia's Bakery

i probably haven't had tomato pie since my last eagles home game which i believe was in 07 and i was probably too drunk to remember eating it.

Susquehanna Birder · October 24, 2009, 05:25:47 PM

One of my recent prizes. It will have to wait a couple of days before I can actually drink it.

That is a cool story about them using your pics, Sus. Have you thought about doing that part time and making extra bank from your work?

After hearing what wedding photogs charge, I'm sure you could make a nice little side roll doing a wedding or two every couple months.

Weddings are hard. Not to say Sus couldn't do it. But typically its more than a one person job and you gotta have all kinds of equipment. very high pressure as well. id never want to do them if i was a professional.

Susquehanna Birder · October 25, 2009, 12:02:19 AM

Yeah, I've done weddings for family, and it's a LOT of pressure. And you have to think about liability, bridezillas, and stuff like that. Not a fun deal. Sure, it can pay the bills, which makes it almost worth the effort.

Product photography is where the bread and butter is at. Hook up with a company what wants to show off their stuff in a catalog or annual report, and you can make a decent living. Top it with some portraits of CEOs and the like, and you're set.

For now, I'm happy to work for beer.

Yeah, my buddy told me that his wedding photog charged them 2500. I almost choked when he said that. Good luck with this, you take really nice shots.

Susquehanna Birder · October 25, 2009, 12:27:20 AM

That's about right. I think I dropped about $2K for my daughter's wedding shots, and I was glad to do it. I have a buddy who shoots on contract with a local photography outfit, and he makes pretty decent scratch, in the neighborhood of $500 for the day's work. And he doesn't have to worry about dealing with all the business. He shows up, takes the photos, and hands 'em over to the company. If nothing else, it helps buy him some nice gear.
