- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
My friends are pretty decent when it comes to stuff like this.
i think they realise after seeing me spending all that money on equipement that i wont do it for free. You just have to make it clear that you dont give away picture or shoot for free.
same things with computers. I am also a computer security consultant and ive had people calling me all the time with the "Hey can you come and fix my computer"
i dont mind helping friends and familly but when you become the helpdesk of everyone and it starts to eat all the time you have off then it become an issue.
same thing for photography.
i've had a couple situation where i had people i know calling me for pictures. Right after i agreed to go then i told them the price i was asking pretty much nothing compared to full time photographer who lives off that money... they were like, ohhh ill call you later. I never got the call back. LOL
Wow I know that pretty much to the t... it is even pretty sad when people bring in their personal computer to work and they are like my computer is acting funny and try to hand it to us and we are like that doesn't look like a regular computer and they are like yeah its my personal..... it is so tough to be nice to these people....
LOL,
i had one friend calling me last week.
He works in a car dealership and one person that works there lost all the file she had on a portable harddrive.
company didnt had any backup of that drive since it was not a company asset. she was not suposed to have these file on a drive not backed up by the company. Her job was probably depending on this.Thier system admin told her that there was nothing to do about it LOL.
My buddy was kinda giving me the feeling that she wanted this done for free.
i restored everything. sent her an email with a list of all the drive files.
and i told her to come pick the dvds (total restore was 12 gbs) with cash in hand.
