Re: [artshow_photo] Advice Sought on Gaining Experience

Ahh...This is a really bad idea for many reasons. A better solution would
be to find an experienced wedding photographer who will take you on as an
asst. or intern. Giving away work is never a good idea but an even worst
idea is to learn while doing on someone's wedding. Personally, after many
years of wedding photographe=y, I think it's a broken field and would never
suggest that anyone give even five minutes of their time to using weddings
as a business. I am sure that every photographer on this group has their
horror stories to share. But this is a personal view.
