I have no problem with my absolutes. I am pretty confident that those of us who are experienced would be just fine with a brand new startup right next door. There's a new one on every street corner every other day. They do a great job of putting themselves out of business and making me look even better with no help from me. And if they're going to stick around? I'll be glad to mentor and pass on information. Their customer is not my customer. My customer NEEDS me to get what I do. No one else does what I do the way I do it. Can't get that from the 4 other photographers in my little town of 1600 people. Of those 4? I network routinely with 2 of them and I am a sounding board every so often for the other two.my responce wasn't really intended for you MLeeK, your actually helpful and have helped me. its more intended for those that like to jump into a post, ***** and moan about the "new photographers" without bothering to help. its kinda almost become like a bandwagon thing because nobody wants to be seen as the new startup business.
I am totally confident when I say that NO ONE here has a problem with new startup businesses. New businesses are fantastic and we spend time helping them all of the time-when they have at least the basics of photography. HUGE difference between new, startup business photographer than someone without a clue of how to adequately use a camera.
careful when you use absolutes. i can imagine allot of people being upset if those business's were moving in next door to them lol.
again guys, my post wasn't intended for anyone who was helping. just meant for those who come in. make a snide comment about someone without knowing any info. to me, no diffrent then trolling.
