<p>No up front pay, just if anyone buys a photo from a table set up. I did find out they are using both arenas, so I will need to shoot along with my partner. That means we won't be printing photos until we are done for the day. I wonder how many people will stay for one. Then there will likely be people who want a posed shot. I guess we will load them on the computer, put it on a slideshow on another computer screen, and get to lightening and sharpening them. Ugh. I wish I could pay for a new printer beforehand, but not possible. Mine is nice but not super fast. Optimally I would have a third person who is shooting along with my partner while I just walk to them and give them cards and take the one they have, put them on the computer and edit. We know noone who shoots like we do. Not trying to be mean, it's just that in our area we spend way more time learning and practicing photography than anyone we know. We also would need someone with a camera at least as good as ours and willing to stand there all day two days. They would want pay. Pay is dependent upon sales. We may end up in the hole.</p>

<p>I think the whole thing is going to be hard. From what I understand, there will be horses shown at two arenas, one outside and one inside. I went to a small show at the same location and that is what they were doing. This will be a much larger show compared to that one, so I'm assuming the same setup. That means there wouldn't be pictures of everyone. There are two of us, so if we each took a spot, outside or inside, we could get a picture of everyone. If we never move if they don't have their own lunch breaks. We would not be able to edit or print until after everything then. The guy who always did it and can't this year, which is how I got the job, did on site printing. I don't know who it is even to ask him about it and who knows if he would answer. I will be doing well to buy the photo paper and ink, so buying a new printer won't work. I looked at the prices of the event printers. </p>

<p>I am taking the photos for an event next month. There will be around 400 participants, and the goal will be to get a photo of as many of them as possible. I will be running the photos through Photoshop for a few minutes each. Then they can be printed, which with my printer takes a few minutes each. My question is, how should I present this? My thought is to have a monitor, and I have a tv for this so that it is a big larger, with a slideshow of the photos going. Then as I work them through Photoshop, I change that photo to the new one. People at the show wanting their picture would have to find it either on the slideshows or by me finding it in my pictures on my laptop. Is there a good or better way to do all of this that I can't think of?</p>
