Wedding Photography Question -?

arch_angel21@sbcglobal.net asked:


Here is my problem,

This is my second year advertising my wedding photography. Last year I did something called “stuff its” at a bridal show. I was able to make a flyer and print 1300+ copies of it. And before the show they would place a 1 flyer in each wedding bag for the show. So when people came into the show they each got a bag that they could carry around and put stuff in from vendors at the show. So this year I am doing it again in my home town of Cleveland with 1700 Flyers for one show. They have another show in Akron that is only 1000 flyers. I have to pay the same about of $495 for each show, to have my flyers placed. Plust the cost to print them. So the difference would be this - $1584.09 to make 2700 flyers and advertise at both the Cleveland and Akron Shows, or $902.79 to print 1700 flyers and advertise at just the Cleveland show ? A price difference of $681.30. Is that worth it for 700 less flyers at another show ? Should I do both or just one show ??? Please advise.
I know this is not the business section, IT IS a WEDDING question. And I need answers. I have to decide today what to do. I have it posted in business as well. But havent heard anything yet.

Is there really such a thing as straight photography?

darkroom
wackywallwalker asked:


It certainly seems there is. Ever since the advent of photography there has been a rift amongst practioners of so called pure photography vs. the so called practioners of soft focus/manipulated photography. On one side of the fence resides your Ansel Adams types, and on the other side Jerry Uelsman types. Although one would assume that the manipulator would spend more time in the darkroom(or behind the computer) you will find that zone system photographers or self described straight photographers spend equal if not more time in the darkroom. The question I am trying to get at is that isnt all photography a manipulation of reality in that the human eye and the camera are not a 1:1 basis and that straight should not equate or be assumed as reality. One only needs to look at the original negatives of moonrise over hernandez and the various printed renditions of the aforementioned negative to see that there is a disparity between reality, camera reality and human imagination.
additionally, do you feel that digital photography, in particular the use of Photoshop is causing this rift to grow or decrease?
