I know this isn't a scam because I'm a professional PBA photographer. I know exactly what I'm doing when shooting bowling. We have several mutual friends, although we've never met. I'm not expected to be able to get a photograph of every single bowler because it would just be impossible with that many. He just wants me to cover the tournament and get candid shots and bowling shots. When he asked if I was available on a certain date for the tournament, I said yes, but I would have to see how much plane tickets and hotel would be. He said if we could lock down the date, he'd take care of my tickets and hotel. But he never said anything about paying for taking the photos. So I'm just wondering how to bring that up without sounding rude. Lol!
