This came up a while ago on the list (after I paid one heck of a number after ordering off a of a web site, Becky sent a few e-mails to the same photog and we all learned we had to pay "extra" for magazine or web usage...a LOT extra, and these were specialty/futurity shots). Some of these folks have some new/strange ideas. While $28 isn't bad for one 8 x 10 photo, the sitting fee IS objectionable if it's a lousy photo. The trouble with, as Ginger suggested, not pay the fee if you don't want the photo, is that you'll be in their data base as a non-paying customer and you'll never see another photo from a show they're doing. I'm blessed. Our local AB guys charge $36.34 for 2 8x10, no fee if sent back (which I never have because not only are they good, but even if the color could be better indoors, I DID order the shot). They are another $14 if you want 4x5 web image on a CD or $38 if you want a 8 x 10 printable image of a CD w/ a copyright release. I'm doubly blessed because they still send the photos, in mailers/ w plastic so you can see what you're getting. No tiny web image that you ca enhance from their site w/ PROOF written over the dog so that you're surprised when you get the actual photo! The specialty gal...now that's another story.

It is OK I guess to pay $28 for one print, but in the event it is a lousy picture, or just plain wrong, and you do not want to buy it, the sitting fee is NOT REFUNDABLE! **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
