I have been a professional audio engineer since the mid 80's and am happy to do for free in my spare time what I get paid to do during the week. I created Shutters Inc in May 2005, and it is today (as best as I can tell) THE longest-running photography podcast in the world.

    Hey guys
    Great show as usual. — In regards to subjects to talk about on the PODs, I would like to know your opinion in regards to giving away CDs (as part of the wedding package). I belong to a small group of Photographers who gets together once a month to have a good time and exchange helpful ideas on how to grow our business’ locally, and last time we got into a heated conversation in regards to giving your images away on CDs. Some said that this was pretty much loosing control over future sales since the couple, family and friends can potentially do what they want with your images without coming to you for your expertise. The other fotogs said that it wasn’t a problem for them and that it was a nice thing to do for the couple in case anything happens to you or them (meaning loss of property or life), and they need to reprint some of their pictures they can easily do it from the archival CD set. One nice idea was to wait for 6 month before giving away the CD hoping that by then all sales of prints will be over. I can see both arguments, but wanted to know what do you guys do when selling your wedding packages.

    That’s it. I like the new site. Thanks for all you do for us…
