What to charge

After a recent conversation with someone about what to charge I'd thought I'd post this link to various resources and a few different bits of software photographers can use when preparing quotes for jobs. If there is a single area of your business you really need to have a solid understanding of, it's what to charge when quoting on jobs. Here is the link thanks to David Bean for posting them on flickr .
