What would you be willing to pay for photography services (see details)?
I am a college student with photography skills. I take pictures for my college newspaper and I recently won first place in a photocontest. When I'm home for the summer, I'm thinking about advertising around my town for photography services...nothing fancy, but children's birthday parties, anniversaries, family reunions, confirmation/graduation/communion parties, etc. My plan would be to show up and just snap pictures, and then give the clients a burned CD or else charge an extra fee for to get them all developed. What would you be willing to pay for a college girl to come to your house and take picturesfor the duration of your family event and then burn a CD of them for you? And what would you be willing to pay extra for developing? I've never done this before, so I have no idea what to charge. Also, besides the photography skills....I have a high GPA and a long resume and I've had background checks done for other jobs, so in other words, I'm not a creeper.
if you charge just the bare minimum, you're going to get clients who are only willing to pay the bare minimum. With that comes no resepct and youre going to have a difficult time pulling everyone together for a shoot. My advice is to charge no less than $50-75 an hour to start. I have an Excel spreadhseet that helps me bid projects. Email me at ashley@pk1studios.com and I would be happy to share it with you.
I entered my baby in the contest, but then it asked for my phone number and said something about $9.99 a month, so i passed. Well evidently it entered him anyways & i just received an email saying judges loved his picture and they think hes got a shot at a $25,000 modeling contract, then it took me to enter him in that contest & it costs $19.99. Is this real?
If they want money from you, definitely fake!

most puppies are really cute as is. you dont even need to worry about which breed. just keep your camera handy, especially during playtime and sleep time. those are the best times to get pictures. also, puppies are more photogenic if you have two together.

A photo contest with the theme of "Spirit of America" judged on creativity and originality...... As I have no pictures of a 4th of July parade, or kids waving flags, this is what I have come up with so far. I can submit 4 photos. Which do you like or dislike, and why? PLEASE HELP!!!!
Note on the selective color flag: I uploaded the wrong file to flickr.... I DID use the in-camera seeting for that picture. The one I meant to upload was the full-color that I had manually selected the red..... Thank you for your comment!
And when I did it manually, I made sure that the red tones were wide enough to tone the shadowed areas, too, then manually put the red bricks back to black and white. I really prefer the selective color version of the hoto, the full color looks too messy to me...
The obvious one, the flag selective color, is marred by poor use of the technique, which I suspect was done using the in-camera setting. There are dropped areas which should have color (look in the red stripes in the shadowed areas to see what I mean.) If you want to use it, I would either use a full color version or convert it entirely to B&W.
The bridge or the cloudy landscape are both very nice. I find a lot of spirit in landscapes, but they may not be the best fit to the contest criteria, and they are not terribly original.
I also like the little girl on the steps.
You have some nice photos, keep learning and practicing and you will only improve. Best wishes and good luck in the contest!
Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody o...

Every child loves to have fun. As a parent you can motivate, teach and empower children through the use of fun activities for kids. For children under the age of 10, there are many things that are fun for kids but at the same time teach them something useful or help them to explore their surroundings. A good way to do this is through using their senses.
The following activities are interesting, unique ways to help your child of any age to learn about their senses.
Exploring the Sense of Smell
For younger children, the sense of smell can be an amazing thing, something that they don't think about. The sense of smell is not just a simple sense. There are many ways to have fun exploring it. For example, blind fold a child and ask them to find a specific scent within a room. Place strong smelling items in various corners throughout the room. Let their nose guide them from place to place.
For younger children, it can also be fun to have a smelling contest where parents give each blind folded child something to smell and they have to guess what it is. Exploring the sense of smell can be a lot of fun and educational, too.
Using Your Eyes
For children, being able to see is something they take for granted. Take this away and your child is in a world that is completely foreign to them. After removing all of the harmful objects from a room, have the child close their eyes and identify certain objects. The other senses are heightened when they can't see.
For older children, purchase or find online a book of optical illusions. From moving surfaces to objects that look like others, this is a fantastic way to explain how the inner eye works and why the brain and eyes have to work together to understand the image.
Feeling Something New
There is nothing more fun than getting dirty and for this activity kids can get a bit messy. To teach them about the sense of touch, take an empty shoe box and turn it upside down, open side down. Cut out just a large enough hole in one end to allow the child's arm to reach in. Then, secretly put different items under the box and have them guess what they are. Try cold spaghetti, homemade slime and cold, round ice cubes. They are sure to be wondering just what you having them touch. This is a great way to get children to learn through play.
Hearing Something Fun
Kids learn through creative play. You can teach your child about their sense of hearing fairly easily. A fun kids game to play is to simply have them close their eyes and listen to sounds over various areas of the room. Or, head outside in a very safe area. Blind fold them and take turns calling the individual to come towards your voice. See how long it takes until they find you! Keep an eye on them to be sure they are safe, of course.
For younger children, boys and girls play can be as simple as guessing what sounds are from a recording. For older children, even teens, have the child listen to a chord of music and try to mimic the sound with their voice. Ba...ba.ba.ba....
Tasting They Will Love
Since children learn through play, a great way to help them learn the sense of taste is trying new foods. But, how do you get a child that is picky willing to taste new foods? There are several things to do here. First, invite them into the kitchen. Allow the child to help peel and cut (age appropriate and safe) and have them help with any other method of preparing meals. Encourage them to make their own foods, too. Perhaps they would like to make something with you, that they create. Good or bad tasting, they still get to see the transformation of taste in their mouths.
With older children, explore textures, too. The crunch of a carrot mixed with the softness of bread creates a unique texture in the mouth. What happens when vegetables are cooked instead of eaten raw? Explore each of these areas thoroughly with them.
Fun activities for kids can fall into that learning category, too. Kids love to explore new things and play games, especially when mom or dad gets to help them with it. Best of all, you will want to spend your time explaining why things happen the way they do. These kids fun games and projects are something you can do with your child!

In 1933, a squint-eyed sailor with outsized forearms danced a hula with Betty Boop--and began one of the great series in American cartoon history. Popeye had made his debut in Elzie Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" four years earlier, and the jump to animation only increased his popularity: by 1938, he rivaled Mickey Mouse. During the '30s, when Disney was creating lushly colored, realistic ...
