I had the pleasure of again photographing this year’s Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America Annual Recognition Dinner, featuring the 2012 Silver Beaver Awards at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Buena Park, California on March 13, 2013. www.OCBSA.org

I am an Eagle Scout from the Orange Council and I have enjoyed being involved in the Boy Scouts again by photographing several events a year for the last two years.

Congratulation to all of this year’s award winners.

If you or someone you know needs to commission an assignment (commercial - editorial) photographer, like myself, to tell your story for an event you are having or, for marketing materials you are producing, I have found a workbook written by the American Society of Media Photographer (ASMP) that explains the "why, what and how" entitled, "Working with an Assignment Photographer."

"This handbook was developed by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) to illustrate the fundamental principles involved during a typical commercial photography assignment. By defining key terms, answering commonly asked questions and describing today’s best practices, it guides you through the entire process of working with an assignment photographer." - ASMP

For years I have tried, with various degrees of success, to explain to people why I charge what I do for my professional photography services.

I ran across this article by Lori Osterberg in HubPages that does a very good job of answering that question.
