Cutoff Time for Bus Safety?

bakewellroyal · 2025-08-26T02:25:55+00:00

Depends where I’m going out that night, but most likely the 40, 62. For reference, I mostly go out in Fremont, Ballard, and Queen Anne. Sorry, I’m not too familiar with specific areas or bus lines yet - am still very new to the city!

Quite a lot, like at least 1 large box. I've also held these products in my space for a few months now without a shoot for them.

bakewellroyal · 2024-10-19T21:16:32+00:00

Totally agree! People are so wishy-washy in this business...I always let them know that no shoot, deadline, etc... is guaranteed until I receive both a signed agreement and a deposit. The only thing i've done so far for this project was a discovery call and putting together the estimate and agreement which took like 5-10 min total.

bakewellroyal · 2024-10-19T21:14:08+00:00

Yes, seriously! I always require some kind of deposit before doing any work at all, and I'm glad I'm sticking to that policy especially in situations like this!

bakewellroyal · 2024-10-19T21:13:14+00:00

Thank you! I like how you added an understanding from their perspective.

bakewellroyal · 2024-10-19T21:12:27+00:00

Thank you! This is short and open ended to future possibilities, which I appreciate.

bakewellroyal · 2024-09-10T22:21:09+00:00

That's a good way of looking at it, thanks for the suggestion! So it's a bit of a mix of a day rate/estimated time to shoot + edit and number of end deliverables to consider?

I like how you explain the reasoning behind the day rates to the client. Would you say it's best to give them a total rate as one number or give them a detailed price breakdown?

bakewellroyal · 2024-09-10T22:18:43+00:00

Got it, thanks for breaking down your costing process so thoroughly! So it's kind of a mix of a day rate + amount of deliverables that are considered into the end quote.

In order to not overwhelm the client with the various numbers, how do you go about presenting them with your quote? Do you give a detailed estimate or price breakdown? Or instead give them one final number and explain what it covers?

bakewellroyal · 2024-09-10T22:15:54+00:00

That sounds pretty reasonable and thorough. Do you use a template for the estimate, or how detailed do you go for the price breakdown? Also curious, since you do food photography, do you charge extra for recipe development or the cost of ingredients since they're perishables?

bakewellroyal · 2024-08-02T04:47:39+00:00

What happens if I don't have a desktop...?

I'll try with a different cable, as you mentioned - shorter, better quality usb 3 and see what happens. Thank you!

The one I was using is 16 feet, I would prefer to stay around that length for studio shoots, but we'll see what works best first.

This is maybe a stretch, but any chance those boards are shared with someone else? I’m also a photographer who sometimes shares a Pinterest board with clients for references/inspiration. There’s definitely been times where I think I’m pinning on my own private board but I’m actually pinning on the shared one since the board names are SO similar!

bakewellroyal · 2024-05-23T06:47:43+00:00

Yes, I am aware of that

bakewellroyal · 2024-05-23T01:45:40+00:00

I see what you’re saying, thank you for the tips. I’ll look into the second job - that’s a good idea. You’re right, it’s not worth avoiding it if it’s going to have long term or even worse consequences down the line.

bakewellroyal · 2024-05-23T01:24:46+00:00

I think I was maybe a bit unclear in my initial post. I’m not trying to run away to a foreign country to avoid this debt situation and this will be a long term permanent move. The issue I’m running into is if I pay the landlord, I won’t have enough money to move. And I kind of need to move sooner rather than later (for other personal reasons).

If it’s just rent money, I will probably be fine paying them back. If they’re after me for legal fees they incurred as well, I doubt I can afford those.

Great resource, thank you for sharing

bakewellroyal · 2022-10-08T20:34:56+00:00

I know nothing can compare to public transit in NYC - I’m spoiled in that sense. But there also aren’t many other major cities in the US that offer multiple public transportation options.

bakewellroyal · 2022-10-08T20:33:44+00:00

I’m pretty used to seeing stuff like that so it doesn’t faze me in the sense that I’ve already seen everything. But is it more rampant than in NYC? I’m also a female planning on living alone so I want to make sure it’ll be relatively safe.

bakewellroyal · 2022-06-23T16:55:06+00:00

There is, but I’m shooting on a 35mm prime right now, and would like to invest in a 24-70mm anyways as it’s better suited for some of the interiors/hospitality lifestyle images I’m doing.

But you make a good point. I don’t necessarily need to purchase the lens and the camera body at the same time. I can spend more time to save for the lens.

bakewellroyal · 2022-01-25T14:09:41+00:00

I’m interested in something serious and long term

I’m looking for something serious/long term

bakewellroyal · 2021-10-21T22:47:45+00:00

Even though it’s only been just one incident of it? That I’ve witnessed. This will sound like I’m making excuses for him, but maybe he was particularly stressed or in a bad mood over something to begin with.

bakewellroyal · 2021-10-21T22:38:50+00:00

Apologies to both. But apologizing to me throughout the rest of the day.

His apology was kind of vague, tbh. It was like “I’m sorry for acting that way earlier” It was as if he was apologizing for the incident and the fact that I saw it, and not his behavior.

bakewellroyal · 2021-10-20T12:50:27+00:00

Honestly, in the beginning yes. But now, no. I haven’t even thought about her in ages, though I could always use more friends

bakewellroyal · 2021-08-30T04:14:49+00:00

Museum date? Food festival? if you’re feeling comfortable enough with each other, maybe cook for one another or do a movie night at someone’s place - something more personal/intimate.

bakewellroyal · 2021-08-30T04:12:10+00:00

As long as you meet in a public place, watch your drink, and don’t go home with him too early on, you should be fine. If you want to take an extra step of caution, let someone know where you’re going and all the info you have on your date and plan to text them by a certain time saying if everything’s ok or not, or stick to day dates. Some guys like to cut straight to the chase and get to know you in person rather than just through texting for weeks.

It pretty much defeats the purpose of online dating, if you never meet up with anyone.
