I just love it when I hear stories like this one from Scott Shepard. He shot for himself, and the results got him a new client.
Things like this happen more than a lot of photographers realize, but in the past they often did not get talked about very much. People saw them as random luck, almost. Truth is, when you shoot for yourself, you make your best work and that will sell your vision better than anything contrived for someone else.
Blogs are helping to get that truth out more and more. Woo hoo!

Btw, most of you know I make it a policy not to work weekends. However, as I start school next week (registration on Monday), I’m more likely to be posting now on off days or odd hours. Just FYI.
