    freelance: Agreed. However I was making the comment as it would relate to a sales pitch to a potential client not as we photographers would see it. As a customer we want our accountants to be precise, our doctors to be precise and our photographers to be creative and skilled....which you have shown many times over you are. Precise just didn't seem to work as a sales pitch for the general public IMO for what it is worth.

    People who see your end product probably never think precision.

    Of course I would rather have a precise photographer before I had a creative accountant or doctor.

    I wouldn't abandon the concept completely yet, there might be a way yet you haven't thought of to use "freelanceshots" that might still work. Your calling card was intense but the concept could work if presented more subtly.

    Are you kidding me? Creative accountants make the world go 'round. Of course, they're about as common as engineers with good social skills (I'm an engineer - not saying if I've got social skills or not).

    I'm an engineer, and I'm saying I have no social skills!

    (wait, is it socially acceptable to say that?)
    An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.
