Re: Selling of Photographs

[East Coast Photography <ecphoto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Roger

Its OK to read books on what you should charge....

But remember, this could lead to a continual income for you.

I recently had to quote on the taking of pans for billboards here in OZ,
the current rates would have been much higher than what I charged, but I
have been virtually garanteed repeat business from this (gov't based)
business.

Doug Seagal helped me greatly (if your out there Doug thanks again) with
questions I should ask, so beware about your rights and ongoing business
etc.

Kind regards & best of luck
