BC,

Nice to hear! You really need the bill delivered on a fork lift? Never heard about PDF(cc) ?

Best regards
Erik

No we work electronically.  I was just making a point because I hate generalities and as foolish as this may sound I'm proud of my profession.

Not every photographer is living off a trust fund, or lifting the mastercard from his mother's purse, or marries into money.

But I use to like when the amex bill came in on paper because I could highlight the items that proved how stupid I was.

Also writing a check was painful and made me more aware.  Now it's just a spread sheet.

IMO

Ever tried printing out a pdf ?

I make them send me paper.  I'm not letting AMEX shift the cost of paper and printing to me.

I think the photo industry is a s__t magnate and even knowing that I love the profession.

I grow weary of the view that a photographer or artist is a guy with dirty jeans that can't pay his rent, do business, multitask, run an honest company and still produce viable content.

Now saying all of that I believe that most the people on this forum are the best of photography.  Not the best photographers (that covers a lot of territory), but the best intentioned.

This really isn't a forum to gain fame or a twitter following, this is a place to talk gear, a little business, a little life with a common bond.

This is a good place, especially since after every project I spend horrid hours watching three computers transcode, encode, decode and explode.

Shit.  That reminds me; I need to wash my jeans.

Surely every photographer wears cone mills/Okinawa selvage and just dry cleans them now and again?

[Phil Indeblanc]

I guess every region has their own marketing and process hype to create a brand and charge $250 for a pair of denim that originally cost $30 just 20 years ago, perhaps before there was a market for "elite denim".
Sure they're more supple soft and form fitting....also thinner, faster wearing, easy rip, harder to replace with same form-cut..... and When was denim born?  Sometimes production efficiency is a cost the manufacturer gains from the buyer, and hypes it as a "better" product. Raw cotton must be getting scares.

Yes, but only for a week before tossing them to the Salvation Army.
