I don't. I want one too, and like you, shootQ wasn't quite it. It's close. Also, the cost sucks. There are a million to choose from, I just haven't found the right one. Some people live shootQ, some love Tave, some like lumamoto. Let me know if you find a good one :)

Yep. 99.9% of the time it ends up being about themselves. They didn't like what THEY looked like in the images. They weren't feeling THEIR serious faces. They felt like they looked ______.

I had a parent who felt like their daughter looked too sexy in the pictures - which is still sort of funny to me, considering I don't shoot that way. My guess is they were having an issue with accepting their daughter as a grown woman.

Part of the job as a photographer is dealing with people's perceptions of themselves. That, and having a thick skin, understanding that an issue with the images may very well not have anything to do with you.

That said, if you sucked on a shoot, own up and make it right.

Looked into it... Not interested. It's a great concept, if someone wants to perfect it, I'd be much obliged.

Depends in the time of year. Winter time is dark by 5pm, and people are still working... So it is often weekends. In the summer, all I have time for is weekdays.

here's one from jeff's wedding... not sure if this was my litepanel or benj's flolite, but they do the same thing :)

i haven't used it in years... but yes, i have a litepanel. benj does have the flolite, and i think he still uses it from time to time. i definitely used it at jeff's wedding...

i do, they are pretty dang fun!!! i don't use it much because i have other cameras i use for instant film

center point only, yo! i use the selector, aka the joystick. best tip is give it time. switching systems is huge!!!!

nope... never use gels or anything

nope... and i guess the benefit would be paying a bunch more money than VSCO for better grain than Lightroom, and not quite getting the look of film with either of them :) it's just another tool for editing, and it has sdome interesting tools to refine your processing style, though i think they will have to do some real magic to stay viable with the kinds of presets that exist now

was it something i wrote or reposted? i'll find it for you once i know what it is! :)

i do miss the tones and colors, like all day long. the mkiii feels so much more, um, digital. everything else about the mkiii is much better.

i don't really have any. bad answer, but the truth.

i only do paypal online with photocart... they have a great pile of info here http://www.picturespro.com/support/photo-cart-faq/index.php?tag=paypal

ha! ask away, friend :) i will still answer if i have before, mostly because i don't think formspring even has a search option. pretty big oversight in my opinion

i would need to know more about it, and i'm certainly no contract ninja

it's your call. some do some don't. i've done both, and all sorts of inbetween iterations. usually i have had a blanket "i start at $____..." to let people know about where i am at. right now i have nothing because i am re-working that portion of my business.

why do it? informative is good. saves you from answering $500 inquiries.

why not? premium brands often do not. if you are looking at them, you know what you're getting in to.

this sort of back n forth can go on for days. i honestly don't have a great answer for you :)

normally it goes like this

- import
- grab a few of my favorites that stuck in my mind and edit them for facebook, etc
- cull the whole wedding
- edit

i don't like to cull/process, cull/process. i want to be done and look at the thing as a whole. this is all personal taste, of course. however, i feel like culling the full wedding first allows me to be more ruthless on my selections. a more succinct story is 99.9% of the time a better story

i have started listening to Over the Rhine again, after taking a few years off.
