Bath tub.

I love, love, love reading in a hot, steamy bath.

Sometimes I read on the couch, but more often than not, I'm in the tub. I will purposefully fix a bath when I'm in the mood to read. I've become an expert at keeping the pages dry.

If it's a book I'm purposefully seeking out I price shop, but the only reason I wouldn't buy it would be if the price was insane. A book I'm wishy-washy about, I try not to spend over $10 - $15 for. I rarely buy books on a whim, so if I were to be attracted to one I didn't know anything about, it wo...

Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome. :-)

Me! I teach 3rd grade and can't wait to read it to them, though it may have to be next year's group because we only have two weeks left and they are jam packed. :-)

Woot! Love Sommer and she's a great choice. :D

And that's perfectly fine. You just wouldn't be the target market of most custom photographers, which is fine, too. Not everyone is! Just be sure to find that information out before you hire someone. To say I would be majorly annoyed if a client started wanting full rights after the fact would be an...

Wow, a commercial photographer whom you pay to take picture of you requires you to license that picture, too? Forget that. Hire a friend with a decent camera, or a photography student. I guess I'm not understanding you. People who are running a business charge for the use of their art by others, ju...

It's insulting to suggest artists are somehow morally bankrupt for charging for their work and time, though I'm sure that wasn't your intention. First off, I love the cartoon (though it did take me a moment to get it, I'm exhausted from working a full shift yesterday, coming in last night from 11:3...

I could obviously argue that point, as my family time is too important for me to do photography without an incentive (aside from the shots I take for personal reasons). It's insulting to suggest artists are somehow morally bankrupt for charging for their work and time, though I'm sure that wasn't yo...

How much does it cost for a professional author's photo (digital - high-res jpg) that you can use for publicity, book cover, etc., assuming you want exclusive world rights for a year or two? Anyone have any idea? Reasonable guesses? This was the OP's question, which I answered. The friend must put ...

I haven't been posting much lately, but I found a fun graphic that I had to share!

Keep in mind that when you look at a website, you may see prices for digital copies, but most of the time they are for personal use only. If you want to use them commercially, you will be required to pay a separate license. Depending on the photographer, this can be time-limited with certain restric...

My current WIP was a topic given to me by my bud, Regan (ReganLeigh on here). She sent me an article and said it would make a great story, but she didn't think she wanted to do it, so The Devil's Utopia was born! Well, that's what it's called right now, anyway. :D

*sigh*

Yes, I'm sure trying to just chunk it into small pieces would help. I keep looking at the whole thing and want to cry! No one said this stuff was easy, huh? :D Thanks!
