And don't forget clients who think nothing of making the photographer wait 3 months to be paid. Or the ones who decide at the last minute that a professional is too expensive and instead to use an intern with a $150 digital compact.

The business was reasonably successful but I'd rather be a gentleman amateur with a nice steady salary any day.
