I love the "Step 13b. ??, Step 14. Profit!" I'm reminiscing from visiting law school forums from last year.

I think some of the "professionals" on CraigsList would actually benefit from that chart.

LMFAO. Especially the ones that list something similar to this "Entire photoshoot with makeup artist provided for only $49".....


Get out and shoot

There is actually a SECRET to becoming a real professional, that real professionals do not want you to know.
...but I was able to figure it out after reading on forums for the last 15 years.

You only need step 1.
Buy expensive stuff and it works all by itself. ;)


just a few of my thoughts...
