Hi Bob (4)
->  If it's a startup who will only have a marketplace in the small farming
->  communities surrounding your town, then I don't see as how he could
->  afford to pay much in the way of a high price. If you want the work
->  more for where it may lead than for the actual profit generated right
->  now, then have an honest discussion with the person about what is
->  involved in time and materials.

I'm not sure how all this turned into a money discussion, but this
apparently is some sort of "startup" as you suggest. However, it's not
around here but in the States.  If I do come up with a dollar amount, (and
I'm certainly not at that point in the considerations yet) it would be what
I'd be happy with in Canadian dollars, but I wouldn't say that, and I'd be
even happier if he took it to mean American dollars.  But all this is
putting the cart before the horse as I still don't know what he has in
mind.

->  That's another project and the sort of thing I was thinking of in my
->  reply above.  You should sit down and discuss the project on a time
->  and material basis.  First talk with your printer to find your material
->  cost for hundreds/thousands/ten thousands of prints so you are armed
->  with the your cost information you'll need when you approach the
->  fellow.

I don't need to do that.  I would only be producing the master.  He could
print as many as he wants over any time period he chose.  He could print a
hundred now, and ten million over the course of time...who knows.  I
created a brochure for my own business years ago, and just printed more as
needed.  I would keep  the file here, so if he needed to make changes as to
pricing or pictures, etc, I could adjust things for him as needed....at an
additional fee, of course.  This is not a big money service.  But it sure
would get me a welcome at the resort anytime I wanted....not that I don't
have that now.

  Don't forget to include the cost and time for the chauffeur.

Oh hey, thanks :)  It's a couple of hours from here, so gas and milage
would be a factor.  Not that I'm the one that pays for that stuff though,
eh

->  As one who has expressed an
->  apprehension about sticking a camera in someone's face, or doesn't want
->  to draw attention to themselves by having others see you are taking
->  pictures of them, I think you might have a few personal hurdles to jump
->  here too Karen.

I'm not sure where you get that Bob.  There is nothing I've ever enjoyed as
much as taking pictures of people for the newspapers. People love to
cooperate with the photographers.  They happily gave me their names and
even spelled them for me.  It's the street photography thing I don't get. 
I mean, if I do that, then need a model's release to use it, I doubt I'd be
greated as nicely as if I worked for the paper.  That's been my experience,
anyway.
