		<description>Rob, I think your blog has been great and, as far as I can tell very  unique. 

I only wish I had more time to read all the topics and all the comments.

I have your blog as a feed on one of my sites and hope others are finding you and learning as well.  I'm sure they are.

BTW - COLORADO IS GREAT!
I am in Denver twice a month for a few days now and will be  looking for opportunities while I am there. 

Keep up the great communications &#38; thanks

Chuck</description>

I really like what your doing here and the information is a real help in many ways.  If you ever charged a fair price for this service I would pay for it in a second!  

Thanks,

		<description>What's up with the few folks taking shots at Rob for wanting to make a bit of money from this blog thing? I dare say you are the same folks who would blow a nutty if the brother tried to nickel and dime you for a crap front of the book shoot. Most of us here are in this business to earn a living ie: make money. And before anyone goes all batty, yeah, yeah, it's about my art, it's the creative process, but it must pay for my house, car, gas for said car (actually we have 2), kids dental checkups, dog going to the vet...you get my point. 

Have any of you padded your travel? How about the crazy markup for film or digital processing fees? I charge them, do you? We (photographers) feel the need to be justly compensated for our services and rightly so. I deserve to be paid for every last cent, even when the "film courier" is my wife who, on her way to the kids soccer practice, swings by the lab. Is anyone here not billing for everything they possibly can? 

Rob deserves to be compensated for the information on this blog. It's his time, energy and creativity producing the material. The feeling that he should be doing this for free is just BS. I've learned much from the posts on this blog. It's been a place for ideas or insight that I can't get from most editors. I'm actually ripping apart my website and remodeling based on a few of the things I've read here. 

Don't be down on the guy for making a living or even trying to make a living of this blog. I actually hope he can make a huge go of it. 

Think about that the next time your on the phone and you hear, " We don't have much budget for this assignment, it's just a small portrait...Did I mention we'll need all rights in perpetuity, we plan on running it on the web and in our foreign editions and see clause 39-c. because you'll need our permission to use it for your own promotion."</description>

		<description>Why does everything need to be (specific) goal-oriented with said goal being making money off the endeavor? When people ask me why I invest time in my blog (I have about a thousand visitors a day... not as popular as your's) I tell them I'm writing a book. I let them know that, if I sat down to write a book, I'd never get it done. But I can blog and, somewhere down the line, all the articles I've blogged will cumulatively serve as (loose) source material for some kind of a book (on glamour photography) I might someday write. If I never get to the book, who cares? I enjoy blogging and, for now, that's reward enough. I'm just letting things go where they might. If my blog turns out to be something with a monetary return, cool! If not, that's cool too.</description>

		<description>Does anyone else find irony in the fact that Rob wants to charge for his time with this blog when he uses the word 'free' at least twice in every post? That's pretty funny isn't it?

What's your sign, Rob? Gemini? Cancer? You change your mind more than I do.

All the best, I'm out.</description>

		<description>Hi Rob, 

I have really grown to enjoy the spirit of your blog. I especially like when there view points that differ. You rant now and then, but it come from a place of passion for us and what you do. 

I am excited to see what the future holds for you. I hope that you will share it with us in the open honest way that you always have. 

You are a hero for us all.

Many Thanks!

		<description>Whilst it might consume a large amount of your time, why not offer portfolio reviews?

How many here would jump at the chance to have you rip through their site/book and have the chance to make it better and impress other photo editors.</description>

		<description>Hey Rob,
Peter Garner is right.  You should get some headshots and then comes your big break - modeling.  You're too cute to be hiding behind a hat...
And please don't ever disappear; your blog is so inspiring, uplifting, and makes me happy.</description>

		<description>Rob,
Completely off topic of your post, and I have to admit, I haven't yet read it all but scrolled down here to make a comment when I saw "Tucson".

Since you are in Tucson, you should definitely try a Tucson-based sub place; Eegees ( http://www.eegees.com/locations.htm ).  Check them out, get a strawberry or lemon Eegee and I'd suggest the original Grinder with extra sauce on the side.

Ok, I'll read the rest of your post now ;)

Rocksteady,

		<description>Rob,
I think you are doing a great job considering what has been going on here on the last month or so.

Keep in mind why you do this....because you want to.

take good care.</description>

		<description>Hey Rob,
Thanks for sharing more of your thoughts on the direction of this blog.  I've been lurking here for a while and really enjoy your insights as well as many of the comments posted here.  I look forward as this site evolves to see where it takes you.  On another note...I just left Tucson about 5 months ago for the joyous winters of Buffalo, NY.  Would have been enjoyable to sit down for lunch at El Molinito's and shoot the breeze.

		<description>Word.

People who have suspicion for why you blog are probably the same kind of people who wonder why artists art. They just do. 

And it's nice to be able to make a living doing what you love, but that's not your motivation for doing it. 

And that's good, man.</description>

		<description>The statement  of several photo editor's suggest idea me, that will soon pleasure escape  to Nepal, India or Tibet not only for - flight from "noisemusic of city", but also for - clearing of the eye of billions photos! :) 
In Russia there are some former photographers who have left a trade and have borrowed in other work (-restaurant and consulting). Also know? - they speak - that are happy! ;)
Sorry my bad English..</description>

		<description>One thing I see in your writing is a sensitive, articulate and rational thought process. You might be burned up a bit with the BS world, but you maintain an enviable tenacity.  I'm going to continue reading this blog which has some objectivity in a world of photographic subjective nonsense.</description>

		<description>Rob, I've been reading your blog for quite a while, and as an artist coming from a painting/art background just starting to try to ramp up my photography "business", I've found the information in your posts (and goodness knows, in the comments!) helpful and insightful.  Can't wait to see how things unfold for you.  Good luck!</description>

		<description>Rob,

While I guess the how and the why of your blog is a vague question in the back of my mind, the sentiment I have is appreciation for running the blog to foster conversation--and through that community. 

I am big on community for, living as a freelancer in a world filled with competition, it is often hard to find and stay connected to fellow photographers. I guess partly due to a growing maturity and partly due to what I've learned in through my work, I am appreciative of you candor and encourage further vulnerability; in an industry full of artists I half-jokingly term (and self-deprecatingly include myself) "vain, egotistical, and insecure" it is nice to see someone throw it out there. Though I guess the flip side is one could be called opinionated.

Blogs are...possibly a great commercial venture but considering the work involved I'm not sure the monetary payoff is that great. I hope you figure out how to compensate yourself for the work you put in; I'll be watching and learning. In the meanwhile, I hope you continue to have time to do those cool, community building things like the promo and photo rank as well as simply providing a place for us to visit.

As for the thin skin, take it from a photographer who's had more than one 5 minute or less portfolio review followed by a curt "thank you." Someone once told me you need the hide of a Rhino. I couldn't agree more but, again, you have to put yourself out there to have something to say.

Keep at it.

		<description>APE- I've been reading your blog daily for nearly 8 months. Not only have I found it to be very interesting and useful, I've also enjoyed watching it evolve. I look forward to seeing where it goes next.  btw- any chance I'll get a response to that email I sent you last September?</description>

		<description>Hi Rob,

I'm nineteen and I'm a student, and it's a pleasure to come back every day just to soak up all the advice.

I've been reading since before you 'came out' and I have to say: well done, and thanks, and good luck to you. 

peace

		<description>At you very interesting blog, questions which here are discussed very much Important! It lets know that in the problems (-the work) you are not lonely, 
and at many as difficultly adapt to a reality of today.
But as though we did not try to be friendly, all of us "competitors" (-let on pages of it blog 
hardly smaller), we are chained in a circuit of business because we at everyone have responsibility for the family, and 
for wound to which we pay for an apartment - from our earnings in sphere of a photography.
Time of trade unions (-as it is sad!) passes, and we as promote this from time to time..
I read you with the big interest as far as it allows me my English language.
Good luck to you!</description>
