I plan on retiring in the next two years from my 30+ years in youth sports photography on the central coast of California. I have an established business, with about 50 contracts, (regular dates) with local sports, gymnastics, dance, schools, and organizations. Although I run the business from my home the growth potential is excellent. We are strickly on site photographers (no retail studio). The business has a gross profit of approximately $70K per year. What would a business like this be worth? (contacts, accounts, web site, email, supplies etc.) I run this business full time, but it could be done as a part time business. Granted it is a small business, but with some work it could easily grow. Is this business worth selling? Or should I sell the contacts to another photographer? Or possibly to one of my competitors? What do you think its worth? Of course my current customers would have the option using the new owners, or not. Any opinions? Thank you BA

<p>Hi<br> I have a Super Ikonta 533/16 that I am not familiar with. The Shutter appears to be jammed, or <br> possibly locked. The shutter cocks, but when pressed the shutter will not <br> fire. Is there a locking button preventing the shutter from firing? The shutter cock lever is now stuck<br> in place. I have no film for this camera Any help?</p> <p>Thanks<br> BA</p>

<p>Hello<br> I am a professional photogapher of thirty years. I have a couple of events which would<br> like to have their photos printed on site, instead of mailing, or ordering online.<br> I have never done on site printing (I always thought this would cheapen the product/quality), however<br> I am not the customer!<br> So, I am checking into using the Kodak 6850, what else is needed? Do we need to dedicate a laptop<br> directly for prinnting? Is a camera thethered to laptop, or is it better to transfer SD cards? Special software? I am assuming the paper for either 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 comes in rolls, so we also need a cutter?? We need to be able to produce 200- 400 prints, package and labeled. One hour wait time for customers to receive their prints? (participants are at the event for the entire day)<br> Do we need more than one printer to handle this volume?<br> Currently we do these same events, and transfer photos on SD cards, customers can view them on laptops, and all photos are mailed to them. All participants also receive two prints, by mail, paid by the event. <br> Last year, however the event organizers wanted to switch to a photographer who would do on site printing.<br> Any help appreciated.<br> Thanks<br> BA</p>
