Dave, My reference to digital was that now many people think that it costs us nothing to create these images, as "uncle harry" can do... so why not just pop them onto a disc or send them via email.... it's a common misconception amongst people at events. I realize the need for level-headed professionalism, but my question is more to how we as professionals can educate the masses... from the helpful advice I've received, the answer seems we can not. Just exchange business cards and tell them the images will either be on-line allowing them to chose what they wish to purchase or you'll contact them once the proofs are ready for their review, again, to allow their selection of which image they'd like to order. Michael Snip: Frankly I don't see what digital photography has to do with the situation. Dave East Englewood ----------------------------- --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
