When I was young I thought I wanted to be an Architect but wandered to other
things. I still sometimes think it would have been fun to go that route.
Most people don't realize how hard it is for a young architect to get
established. That drives many away from the field. I mentioned to an
architect friend one day that it must be satisfying to drive past all those
monuments to his skill and success. He replied, "Yes it is. Then there are
those other monuments that do not reflect anything you want to be remembered
for, but your name is on them, and you know the damn things will be there
much longer than you." /jmac

LOL...if only I had more food to drop in the mouths of deserving
photographers! In fact, the images I took were more like scouting
shots. I submitted them to the magazine and local AIA, for
consideration for the Home of the Month event. When the house was
chosen, the magazine sent a "real" photographer out to shoot it for
publication. I was able to get my friend and client Marco Prozzo
(<http://marcoprozzo.com/>) the job. He got $1,600 for the shoot,
plus (so far) $1,000 in licensing for three of the images he took,
from me and the contractor...
I rented the TotaLight from Glazers for about $12 for the day.
They're about $110 from B&H.
