ABOUT THOSE FREE OPPORTUNITIES

06.03.10

Just substitute ‘photographer’ for ‘writer.’ If you have a very specific reason for wanting to do free work, great! If it’s being solicited by others who should be paying you, not so great. I nearly peed my pants laughing at this.

Many thanks to Jonathan Canlas for putting this video in front of my face.

Wow… love the passion and frankness. Good way to put it…minus the parts that should have been blipped, so I could share it with others

Will you do this for us for free? It’d be great exposure. Ummmm, no.

I wish I could carry this guy around with me, in my pocket, for a good swift kick in the butt, and a fiery pep talk when I needed it…. of course I’d PAY for the butt kicking Great clip! I actually admire his passion, and good for him!

[...] I wish this video didn’t swear. Look past that part and listen to the message and then if you’re a photographer (or other creative professional)… stop undercutting the rest of us and charge what you’re worth! Via Brand Camp Blog. [...]
