Re: possibly longer than Emily's post! :

Short answer to Emily's long post...there is a big difference between 
working for an employer (be it a big co. like Sears or a small 
publication) and running your own business. A business that may easily 
take you out of a small world and into a big one. There your pricing, 
and other approaches to business, will surely affect other photogs. 
Lastly, of course you cannot do what Emily suggested for every job, 
frankly its just not possible in certain kinds of markets. But you have 
to come as close as possible both for your own sense of ethics and worth 
and for the greater field. Hope you get the job and move up and on.
