Great article, but the photo of the person with the rope didn't have the correct reflection in the water :-)

I really enjoyed this article. there was much to learn although I don't aspire to become a professional.

@northy I'm great, photography has taken a back seat to my involvement in the local Community Garden where I am now the President.
I still take photos, just not as disciplined. :)

Realllllly good advice! Learn the rules and break them! I work as a tutor and I used to be a caterer--and the same advice applies. I don't cater anymore--I was so tired of the "if you do this gig for free (some benefit), you'll get lots of exposure!" That was bull for "we love having the best food available and we don't want to pay anything for it, and I'm sure that's just fine with you--starting up your business and all." Ugh.

I love this article! But after reading it I'm glad I don't have my own business I would get stepped on by everybody else
