What  thinks the group?
 
Bob, rather than adding the 4 C's to your list of products,which it sounds  
like is really an attempt to keep people from "wasting" your time, why not 
add  another product which encourages people to spend money with you and 
also may  encourage folks to buy the product you originally offered for sale. 
 
The product being a short course in photography.  This is what they  are 
asking for when they come in with all their questions.  Given that  yours is a 
tourist area your gallery/workshop could become an excuse for a fun  
weekend destination for the folks who have an interest in photography but don't 
 
want to spend the time and money with the folks down the road who offer  
week-long and longer workshops.  This people asking all the questions are  
spending the big bucks on cameras they don't know how to use.  Why not give  
them 
a little information and take them on a field trip to get them making  
better images.  They aren't going to compete with you and they will send  their 
friends and neighbors your way.  Some will take your weekend class,  others 
will buy photographs . . . you generate income regardless of their  choice.  
 Offering instruction in the form of a short course  gives you another way 
to engage in the conversation with folks who really  just want information 
of how to create more pleasing images.
