Subject: Studiomate/Roommate needed for Jersey City studio
Posted: 20/Jul/2010 at 11:21AM

I am currently looking for a roommate or studiomate for my studio located in Journal Square. It is about 10 minutes from the Journal Square path station. 20 Minutes to the WTC and 30 Minutes to Penn station/33rd St.

The place is 1,300 Square feet and about 700+ Square Feet is shooting space. There are 13 foot ceiling and neutral Grey floors. End to end measurements in the main space are about 20ft x 24ft to 24ft x 40ft on the long end.

There are four 62in x 70in windows (Two facing east and two facing north) and two 5ft x 5 ft skylights making this a great natural light studio. All can be blacked out or scrimmed for shooting with strobe lights. Part of the room serves as a living room during off hours, but all furniture is light and movable. The space also features central heating and A/C.

The office space is about 13ft x 13ft and has one window facing south. There is also a working kitchen and a decent sized bathroom. This space comes with one dedicated off street parking space in the lot in back. You and only You are allowed to park in your spot.

I live and work in the space and there is one resident cat, Bella. She is very nice and had been well socialized. She does not disturb shoots so there is not need to worry about her getting in the way. The space is kept very clean and organized.

Rent is $800 + utilities per month. The lease is a work/live lease allowing for people to live in the space where they conduct business. The space is available For August 1st.

Hello Logan,
 
Seeing as how you've read the above....
 
In this economy it is an unfortunate fact that delays in payment are inevitable and unfortunately effects all of us on both ends of the invoice.
 
First be tactful, ok you've already done that.
Be persistent but not a pain in the ass, cause you may just want to work with that person again sometime.
 
Rather than calling alone, send emails that are dated and contain all relevant information regarding your attempts at payment in the event that you need to go to small claims court to collect.
Always make sure you document everything.
Should you call in an effort to collect follow that up with a pleasant email rehashing the high lights of that phone call and the terms discussed.
 
Remember that this is a business and if they threaten to never hire you again than that is probably a good thing for you.
 
Depending on how long you've been waiting for that payment you may need to send a final notice and then file a small claims case.
Fee there was $35 a few years ago.
Understand that even if you when your case the other party gets another 45-60 days to pay.
Should they still refuse to pay your next option is to have a marshal go after there property and assets.
This I have been told will set you back about $3500 to initiate.
 
If it's only 1 day of work you may have to take the lose.
If it is multi day than you may be able to contact the client and get paid that way.
It is amazing how quickly a photographer can find their check book once the client calls them and asks why they are screwing the photo assistant that saved the photographers ass.

Hey James!

Any advice on the most tactful way to approach informing a photographer that they are past due?]]> Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:13:24 +0000 http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=190&PID=426#426 Phase One C1 Pro : C1 Pro 5.1.2 and ICC support http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=202&PID=425#425 Author: TheBFC

Hi all,

I had some major issues with a set of fashion images shot in C1 5.1.1 last week.  While I was able to come up with some workarounds to get the job done, I encountered something very interesting in the release notes for version 5.1.2:

"ICC version 4 profiles and some ICC version 2 profiles are not supported for Mac OS Leopard,
Windows 7 and Windows Vista."

What gives?  How is one supposed to manage color with this release?  Are not most ICC profiles (including those created by EyeOne and ColorEyes) either v2 or v4?

Why even release a version that does not support ICC profiles? Especially for the most common OSs?

Subject: CG222W Info?
Posted: 19/Apr/2010 at 8:36PM

Thinking of purchasing a CG222W Eizo Monitor. Does anyone own this Monitor or have any thoughts on it? I currently own a Apple 30in and 20in displays and am looking for an upgrade. Would primarily be used for retouching and some softproofing as well as a occasional rental to photographers. Im thinking it looks like a good value but because I have never owned a "hi-end" monitor I am unsure. Also are any products that maybe newer to the market in the same price range that I am unaware of? What are some of the drawback from the more obvious things like color gamut and size. Anything other than Cinema Displays are not considered standard in my mid-sized market so that is i guess a factor as well. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 20:36:54 +0000 http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=201&PID=424#424 Camera Equipment : battery pack http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=200&PID=423#423 Author: blockmanjohn

Posted: 06/Apr/2010 at 8:25AM

I have an Olympus point and shoot which uses a 3 volt cr2 battery. Can I run it off of 2 D cells hooked up in series that I would attach to the battery terminals inside the camera? This camera is used as part of a trail monitoring system and is always in one place. The CR2 batteries do not last very long with the camera always on, and they are expensive. Thanks in advance, John.]]> Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:25:04 +0000 http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=200&PID=423#423 Job listings : Austin, Texas - Assistant Needed http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=199&PID=422#422 Author: Erik

Thanks for the link,but I was thinking more about doing that with strobes and not really speedlights. However, I was thinking I could use a speedlight to trigger the packs by slaving them. Cool...Lamp]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:30:17 +0000 http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=197&PID=421#421 Camera Equipment : Rear curtain flash sync http://www.1prophoto.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=197&PID=420#420 Author: JamesNYC

Posted: 04/Mar/2010 at 1:25AM

Yes, in an ideal world this would be the case.
However it usually is not.
in many cases travel days are half day rate.
and yes if your in the hotel and it rains or other and you cant shoot you do get paid.
But if your in a hotel between jobs that day rate needs to be discussed before taking the job.
