By the $$
Hard to really judge since I don’t usually put time limits on my shoots, but if we didn’t take into account the time limits:
- $18,000 - I figure I donated that much worth of photography to my friends in one weeks time.
- $1000 is how much in turn was donated to the charity Family to Family Humanitarian Expeditions.
- 20-25% was what we were able to cover on the costs of actually putting on the event.
- But that can be considered either my really large donation from me to the charity or an investment in more stuff for my photo business, since I’ll probably have use for at least some of the equipment.
- 1 week – is what I’ll now be donating to the charity in Mexico shooting for their next project to help promote future expeditions.
- 20% is the discount on the print prices I’ll be doing for the galleries that will go up. (Which goes towards the expedition and costs)
