Thanks to Marion Laney for finding this great blog written as an open letter to a client who noted that the high rates charged by this photographer were non-starters and job killer. Tom Meyer does an excellent job reminding all of us that a 6 hour job is never a 6 hour job and why the rates for a professional are what they are. A good read for any freelance or business owner. I especially love the photo of his staff.
