ABOUT THOSE FREE OPPORTUNITIES

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.

    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!

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