I am a professional Photographer from the Sugar Land area who, like most in this portion of the forums appreciates the lost art of bartering goods. I am an award winning published photographer that portrait studios cannot afford to keep on staff, so I'm bartering my services while things aren't crazy busy! I am looking for any of the following: bbq pit/smoker Laptop with high graphic capabilities (as a replacement for mine which is acting up and desperately needed for work) a recliner from a non smoking home. preferably black or beige/kakhi gift cards to target, walmart, HEB Canon L series lenses Make me an offer!
my work can be found at facebok.com/imaginethatpix and imaginethatpix.com I am a graduate of New York Institute of Photography, a merit award recipient, and published both in newspaper and all over online.

If these things bother you guys so much, why do you keep reading the adds?

Is someone holding a gun to your head?

Do we need to call the police for you?

That's funny. I know a "professional photographer" who charges upwards of $5K for weddings with an entry level DSLR and nothing else; no equipment whatsoever. Seeing the awful pictures, I can't imagine anyone has actually paid for those services.

My confidence level just increased a lot. And I still suck. But, I am getting better.

Ok, I admit I got a chuckle, but isn't it bad form/manners to be posting links to other photographers and critiquing their work without them asking for it?
