How does one arrive at $2300 for a photo? Round here the average mug shot is charged at $80 or so for a set of 3. And he didn't make enough to pay for the rent of his studio. Now he's out of work.... And owes $1100 in rent arrears. I might get $15 for a portrait..... Usually do it for a cup of tea. Any one want an EOS100??? Just don't have the sales ability. Can't sell anything for a profit. How does capitalism work? Even my employer stopped paying me and expected me to work for nothing! When I objected he offered me $7000 a month to stay on. My heart attack precluded that and he was probably not genuine. Now I'm on a pension which is a little more than I was earning part time and only a little less than my previous full time earnings. I could not ask anyone for $2300 for one of my prints.... $15 anyone?
