There is absolutely too much gatekeeping in photography.

Over the top and pretentious stories about an image. And the stupid sayings photographers use in business. “Preserving your memories”. “Capturing your moment in time”. It’s a fucking pictures. Get over it.

I hate the whole “game” phrasing unless it’s, you know, an actual game.

Been there. Part of the process of learning.

Depending on the sports. Most of the time I do use my pelican but if I have to cross lots of grass then one my backpack bags is the choice. I also change out my bag depending on the event and body/lens needs.

It amazes me that people will spend so much money on their gear and then buy the cheapest shit cards they can to save a buck or 2. They are always on sale and fairly cheap. I have several unopened packages of cards just in case this happens to any of the cards I have in use.

I’ll just do my digital path.

Bodies: Original Digital Rebel. 10D, 20D, T2i, 7D, Original M, 7D2, 1Dx, 5D4, 1Dx2, 1Dx3, R6 (1 for video, 1 for regular shooting), R3. Just added an R7 for surf school. Currently still have all my 1Dx version as well as my 7D2, and R bodies. Use all the R bodies nearly daily. Use the 1D models for remotes. The 7D2 I lend out to those wanting to learn, usually students.

In all of that I tried M43 in the Olympus OMD system but didnt stick with it. Had a Nikon or 2 in there as well. Also have a Fuji floating around.

Really depends on what sort of photography you are trying to get paid for.

Always send an invoice first.

You inform them of a change in rate. Do you have a contract? In my long term contracts I state that at every X amount of time a rate change may apply. Usually every 3-6 months. Each contract states the possible % increase min and max. A contract lawyer can help you with the proper wording and legalities for your state.
