His Camera The Beauty: The beauty of it, of course, is that you can watch your subjects until they show just the expressions or movements you wish and then release your flash. I feel, too, that it is very useful in dark places like night clubs and restaurants. Frequently I have set up a Camera with remote control in the corner of a room, seated myself at a Table some little distance, and released the flash, possibly an hour later, when everybody had forgotten about the camera.
Most of your work will be for professional photographers. Amateurs haven't the same incentive to pay a dollar or two for each negative, and anyway, most of them use smaller film than is practical to retouch. Except in special cases, you should decline to work on negatives smaller than 4x5.
Do you like to take your Camera out on a fine day, when bright clouds decorate a deep blue sky, and shoot pictures purely for their pictorial beauty? Have you done this Camera the beauty with the beauty spots in and around your own town, just for the artistic satisfaction you get out of such pictures? If so, you probably have a stock of negatives in your files right now which could start producing a steady income for you.
Photography can be a hobby, or a profession, or a combination of both. That's the beauty of a camera-from a box Camera to a $450 miniature-it is a piece of equipment that brings pleasure, or a tool for making money.
From the moment he becomes imbued with photography, the average amateur desires to sell his Camera the beauty pictures.
