  1. <p>Newbie with an Idea. What do you think.</p> <p>About me: I do photography as a hobby. I have never sold any of my work. I have studied photography and love landscape and out door pics. I have taken thousands of pics of my two kids sports. My oldest is in third year of collage. Youngest in 7th grade. I have been elected be the photographer of my daughter middle school tennis matches just to get a few pics for yearbook and give away pics to parents and make a music video for banquet.<br> What happen: I was taking pics of match at tennis courts. After it was over my daughter wanted to walk over to the middle school baseball field, cause the boys are cute. Ok, I will take some pics while I am there. A women walk up to me and ask where she could buy some pics I am taking. Of course I did not have an answer, just taking pics for fun. She gave me her email and said I will pay for pics if you take some of #8. I took 66 pics of her child and about 50 of random kids. (action shoots).. I told her I would send her the pics and that she did not owe me anything. I did not really know how good the pics would be, kind of a low light situation.<br> Reaction: She gave me her number, I called. She spent the next 45 minutes praising my photos. I cant count how many times I said Thank You. There is a guy that shoots the football games and has been doing it for years and uses one of the web sites to sale his pics. She said my photos were ten time better. She pays $1.50 for a 4x6 and she thinks that is high. She said she would pay that and more for my photos any day. <br> Here it comes<br> The Idea: instead of shooting the whole team. Hire my self out to a parent to shoot as many shots of there kid in one game for a flat price. They would be getting more pics and I would not be just getting a cut from the web site. Email the pics to them. It just seems easier for every body.<br> Or am I missing something<br> Thanks for you time. </p>
