[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 161018, member: 4399"] Another frustrating aspect is they just don't know how much work really goes into it. Most people don't even know what post processing is or why I don't want something I've worked on printed at the local drugstore. I think I'm going to find some local people I think are decent and refer to them. Another topic this usually leads into is the folks asking have no idea what to look for in a photographer after I steer them away (so then I worry that they will end up with a craigslist special). Not that the gear makes the photographer, but I've felt like telling them to ask what camera and lenses their potential photographer will be using and call me. I also tell them what to look for in a portfolio, so hopefully it helps but you still feel like your sending them off into uncharted territory. Oh well, that concludes my rant for the day :) [/QUOTE]
