Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four 7. Be ready to talk money when somebody calls with a job Know what you charge for a day’s work. Do not say “Yes” without talking price. If you don’t know market rates in your city, ask others. Know what you normally charge, but don’t be afraid to ask the photographer what his or her budget is. The same photographer may some have jobs with an editorial budget (lower) and others with an advertising budget (higher). 1. Always be on time. In fact, always show up early. Make a photographer late for a shoot, and she will call someone else the next time. 3.

Photographers blogs you should be reading.
All of these photographers are in different stages of their working career. Reading their blogs I have gotten a real sense about day to day life, how they promote themselves and not every image the shoot is a winner. I think there are some real helpful post and just fun to look at different work. http://blog.johnloomis.com/ (freelance guy) http://l2agency.com/blog/ (LA agency) http://thelandlubber.com/ (artist that document her work in point and shoot color film) beautiful images http://marktucker.wordpress.com/ (freelance guy been around a long time form film to digital now back to film) http://mattbites.com/ (food guy) http://judithmillerinc.wordpress.com/ (agency) http://www.lincolnbarbour.com/blog/ (freelance shoots it all) UPDATE http://mattnager.com/blog/ Dallas photographer, shoots for the New York Times http://matthewturley.com/blog/ landscape work and stock Do you have any photographers blogs you read? send them our way. thanks nick...

SPE: seen more then we can talk about.
Thanks to all that was involved, SPE was an amazing conference. We learned a great deal about photography and the effects of Sprawl on our world. Photo Society was so grateful we could send 13 of our members to the conference. I know it was exciting and eye opening to see the diversity of work covering the conference topic SPRAWL. 7 words Something I picked up was from the Tamron sales rep. In difining your photographic style pick seven words that represent your images. Those seven works become your guide in your style. So what are your 7 words?

Chris Jordan
Recently, photographer Chris Jordan was a guest on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. I've seen his name pop up quite a few places, so I thought he may be worth putting up here for people to look at. His work deals with the effects of our mass consumptive society, among other things, his series "Running the Numbers: An American Self Portrait" is pretty amazing if you ask me.
Susan Unterberg
Susan Unterberg has a lot of close up photography of objects and animals that are neat, I thought they'd be worth checking out. Susan Unterberg
