My sister just sent this Craigslist ad to me.

"I would like to get photos of my family taken at two different locations. Local park and at our house. One large family portrait and and then family will change clothes into holiday attire and second set of photos will be taken. We want holiday cards with these. We are looking for a well experienced photographer with no less than 10 years experience with references. Budget is $200.00 for 4 hours payment will be a check."

Wow, a bad economy makes for a brazen and bold prospective clientele. The sad thing is, they'll probably find someone to do it for them.

It is what it is.

Okay so anyone looking for work on Craigslist is probably used to making minimum wage anyways, so this would be like hitting the jackpot! "Sure I have a really nice camera phone, take great pics!!" :beerbang:

Well said, I agree with you. My Granddaughter is five years old and I just bought her, her first camera. It is a Fisher Price digital with a 4x1 zoom. She might do it for them.
