To all who expect FREE Photography Warning all Photographers!!
Is your time free? Was your camera Free? Was your education free?
I am a photographer and I am appalled at how many times I see online where someone wants professional photos for free! Sure lets jump in my car, run all over Boise shoot a dozen or more photos, then let me go home and edit them, (which take HOURS, if your good at it) then either email them to you or GIVE you a cd....
Do you work for your boss for free? You offer a service and your boss pays you.
A professional photographer offers an artistic service and you want it for free. Then if you do end up getting it for free the quality is crappy, shocking!
Photographers!! Professional or beginner, stop giving your talent away for free! You doing it for your portfolio only gives everyone the idea that photography is cheep and easy. I use to be able to make a living offering photography services, now it is next to impossible.
Stop asking for it for FREE and PHOTOGRAPHERS stop giving your talent away for FREE!!!
I am getting all kinds of great hate mail from posting this, loving it actually glad the haters are angry that I am posting the truth. I am going to post the hate mails that I am getting here so keep it coming you angry freeloaders. Keep flagging and removing because I will keep posting.....
PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU ARE BEING USED!!

Here is another hateful response:
Pick up a shovel and do something we're willing to pay for, digging ditches and holes for fence posts and trees. Trim shrubbery.
But your kind aren't interested in any real hard actual labor.
Most of us have a degree in Photography and Art, pay us what we are worth $50 to $100 an hour!
