Feb 13, 2012 09:41 | #2 No, but maybe you need to work out a code word for it with the assistant. Something like "Can you turn on my ceraunograph for me?" Clients love the techno babble, it's clearly separate you from them and be a solid indication they hired the right person for the job. Take it a step further and rename all your gear. If you're clever, you should be able double or even triple your rates.

But yeah, it's a stretch. Just curious what others thought! 5D II | 24-70 2.8L II | 16-35 2.8L II | 70-200 2.8L IS II | 50 1.4 | 430 EX II x2 | PW ControlTL
