A Million for 20 Shots! - 07-31-2010, 08:58 AM


An article in today's Houston Chronicle stated that Charles and Sam Wyly paid almost one million dollars for 20 family portraits. I wonder what that photog's pricing structure happens to be?

If the photographer got 1 million he undercharged. She could have gotten 2.

Huh. One of the Wyly's won one of my pet sessions at a silent auction. I'm guessing the final price was ever so slightly under $1 million.

(They haven't cashed it in. I only found out who won because a girl that was outbid booked a session with me anyway.)
