Add on a BG set for ourselves and the money is flowing better.

That's what the idiots still don't understand when they call me old, out of date, retried, broke. Coming back to earn $2,000 a week isn't impossible. You have to be making a lot more than that.

If I got myself a trained dog and shot 2 beast scenes per day, clients would be falling over themselves offering me riches. If. But I don't, so they're not. If.

Neither are you shooting for custom clients Paul, and you never again will be because talk is cheap and your content, your attitude, and any knowledge or skills that you once had, like yourself, is out-dated and shit. There are professional shooters with real business sense out there who have studied their craft and actually produce excellent content that people want, not amateur hit-and-miss hobbyists who got lucky back in the 1980s. You can't compete for shit when the real professionals turn up.
