I ran into my cousin the other day and he was so busy ”philosophifying” that I didn’t have a chance to get a word in edge wise.  He was busy fixing the worlds problems.  I wish that I had 30 minuts a day to share my “philosophying” process with you.  I think I could save all of the worlds problems.

Some of the topics that have been bouncing around in my little head…. (1) you get what you pay for, (2) slow life down, (3) No child left behind has left every child behind.  I am sure there are more just not at my finger tips right now.

I know that many of my ramblings have to do with my frusterations with work, I don’t do it because I like to wine, I just think that much of it is lack of information.  If I take it on as a personal mission to educate the world will you follow me?  JK. 

I don’t know if we will make it through the tough ecconomy, the tough industry, the tough social battle.  I noticed a post on facebook yesterday from one of my customers how proud that they were that they found a photographer on the “cheap”.  All I could think was you get what you pay for.  I hope that the memories that you want to preserve for that day are preserved in a way that gives them justice.  I know, I am one of the fools that has “snap shots” of my wedding instead of professional wedding photos.  It makes me sad 20 years later that I don’t have the images to trigger memories from one of the most important days of my life.  Maybe people don’t realise how important it is because the average marage only lasts for 5 years, but I would pay anything to go back to that day and get those images that only reside in my memory.

My feelings also get hurt.  Every photographer provides different services.  I charge a fair amount for my services.  It may seem like more because you only look at the bottom line, but if you actually looked at an apples to apples comparison, our per hour fees for total work completed is drastically less than most of the competition.  Do you want a Yugo or a Mercedes?  Please do not ask me to sell you a Mercedes for the price of a Yugo.  Please do not belittle me because I think that my children need milk.

If anyone wants to see the “snap shots” from my wedding because my mom thought it was so cool to save a couple of bucks I would be happy to share with you.
