Login coming soon!

Due to people being bad and bugging members, there will soon be a login page for members and I will let you know when that happens. Nobody will see the members list unless they signup. Pros searching will have to pay a small fee to look I think. maybe 5 or 10 bucks. Still in the works, I am not a web master, but I try to fake like I am, so it may take a few days. Thanks all.

Bill

Yeikes! Bruce is in town!

Bruce Mayhill is in town this weekend, shooting 2 weddings this weekend and we are all doing a photo shoot on Sunday with me Shawn and a host of others, just to have some fun. If you want to shoot, come along it is free. We are going to start at the Stoney Creek Inn in Moline Illinois at 1pm.

Something to think about

SECOND SHOOTER'S RELEASE OF LIABILITY
There could be situations such as the one that transpired in the Boston area recently. In that incident, a wedding photographer totally disappeared, leaving her clients without their pictures. An attorney for one of the clients began to pursue the second shooter for photos, who felt it necessary to hire his own attorney after the client mentioned possible liability. He ended up drafting an agreement with the client that released him of any and all liability in exchange for providing her with a disk of images (after waiting an appropriate time for the primary photographer to respond). He now plans on having a specific second shooter release of liability agreement drafted up for any future assisting gigs.

Pro Photographers

August 11th I will be sending a letter to thousands of Pro photographers in the USA, to let them know about Second Shooter USA and how we can benifit from it. Also when you get hooked up as a second shooter let me know. I will do some features on hired individuals. Well back to xcel to sort all of these photographers addresses. Have a great day.

Bill

BIG STUFF ON THE HORIZON!!!!

I have 2 meetings in the next couple of weeks with 2 large photographic companies that may sponsor the workshops and seminars. So we can get the top notch photographers to do the seminars and workshops. So stay tuned cool stuff happening!!

Maybe some day!

Banners

Hello everyone!
If you would like a banner with your listing on the site, just email it to me and I will put it on for you. Free of course. You can see a sample on the site under Florida's, Theresa Marie Photography .

Everyone who has signed up will have a lifetime membership. And it will be the same for everyone who joins till 2009. Anyone who signs up after January 1, 2009 will pay a small fee to sign-up, maybe 20 bucks or so, I don't know yet, that is to help pay for hosting and site upgrades, and I want to hire a designer to help me keep up and make things all pretty. As always if anyone has ideas to make things better feel free to shoot me an email or call.

Have a great day guys!
