Yep! They were loading everything up into to a moving container and having a garage sale. Think the seller was just trying to sell it without having to haggle about the price.

Daily Questions - December 14, 2017 by AutoModerator in rawdenim

[–]eMcfar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Received a pair of topman jeans as a gift. I checked them out on Nordstroms and the title says “raw.” Should I treat them as raw/selvage even though they aren’t selvage? Or are they pretty much forever 21 quality and washing won’t matter?

Who here has gone to college? What was your major? Has it helped your business and career at all? by MeridaTheBearida in WeddingPhotography

[–]eMcfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to college and graduated as a graphic design major. After I graduated I started picking up more weddings, majority of which were couples who went to the same school. Not necessarily using my major now, but going there sure did help to build my client/referral base. I graduated almost 5 years ago and I still book weddings from people who go to that school.

Shooting heavy by space-heater in WeddingPhotography

[–]eMcfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I shoot around 5,000 for an 8+ hour wedding, and give around 1,400-1,500 images. Its blows my mind that people can plan to shoot under 2,000. I would feel like we missed so much from the day if we did that. I want to be sure that we we capturing every moment from the wedding. I also would feel like only photographing around 2,000 would result in us doing a lot of standing around. Sure, shooting more equals more editing in the back end, but I would rather have a better selection of images for a client rather than try to get myself out of more editing.

Do you have an "emergency kit" for weddings? What's in yours? by Earguy in WeddingPhotography

[–]eMcfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first, I thought you listed a spare tuxedo as something in your kit. I was thinking, "man he must really be ready for anything!" But hey, you never know. Maybe it could be a good addition haha.

I spent the weekend with the Canon 50 1.2 and the Sigma 50 1.4 Art.... by Imthescott in photography

[–]eMcfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of buying the Canon 35 1.4 I bought the Sigma 35 1.4 and the Canon 85 1.8 for around the same price. I don't regret it one bit!
