Recently I attended a birthday party; the hostess had made arrangements with an experienced amateur photographer who had hopes of starting her own work from home business.
Nearly everyone there brought their own digital cameras, however, once the party began, most forgot about taking pictures. The photographer was paid for her services. We were able to save photos to our computer or chose to download the prints we wanted.
In the mean time, the photographer was paid generously for her services, and she did not bear the expense and work of printing or delivering the photographs.
