Most of my big jobs and contract work (not only in photography) have come from people saying "wow you do such and such! Could you . . . " They name something I haven't tried yet but I know how well I can rise to a challenge, accept the work and then rock on through it. JohnEBongo is absolutely corect. with that pressure you aren't second guessing yourself 'cause you don't have time and even if you don't go about the task in the same fashion another would you find your own style and own workflow and it is just as good or better!
