If I took good pictures, I'd sell more prints. Now that scanners and inkjet printers exist I'd have to re-think my whole approach; such devices are surely going to cut into the per-print revenue. Another advantage of selling prints and not the photography service is that you can divide the money up among the relatives. If you charge a bunch of money up front and then give the prints away, it's the bride's father who pays for it. As the father of three unmarried college-age daughters I have an issue with that, but as a businessman I recognized that not only could I sell pictures to the newlyweds and their parents, I could sell prints to all of the relatives, if they were good pictures. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
