a bunch of Photo Seminars over the years and at the end of each, they all invariably say "Take Lots of Pictures", leading me to wonder why did I just give you guys $60.00 or whatever for the privilege of you telling me to go take lots of pictures?

I was doing some Senior Pics for The daughter of a friend who being a single Mom on a tight budget couldn't afford the Pro Photographer thing recently. I told them I was willing to do it, but they were not getting a photographer, but a guy with a camera and we were simply going to take lots of pictures and we were bound to hit something good. When we were all done over the 4 sessions, they got a flash drive with about 600 shots. Some were terrible, some okay and some were really good.

So Take Lots of Pictures!
