not sure on the non-public pricing, Kinda makes you wonder if every one will be charged the same cost (hey i like you its this much, muh i dont know you its this much, Hey i see you get 100 bookings a year you can afford a little more its this much )

But with that - :( great looking pumb that wont work for me ( we got 110v )

Balloon Chit Chat / Re: Using my Promo Pics
April 03, 2013, 08:23:58 AM
i am not posting this as a balloon maker/twister. I am posting this as a Photographer.

Any time you take a photo from some one elses website. You are stealing. The photo belongs to the photographer. Even if they were paid to take the photo by some one else for the website UNLESS they have it in writing to say that they transfer OR give rights for you to use there copywriter work (whoever pushs the button owns the photo not who owns the camera ect..) You are breaking the law and are open to lawsuits.

Last year i made about $1700 tracking down people who have taken photos from my various websites and or blogs and used them on there own site.
Some people say that if you use it for none comerical  use (illustration ect...) you can use other peoples work BUT ! if you make any money what so ever via your website be it advertising, selling a product or service you are open to lawsuits.

In my case i send an invoice for the cost of using my photos usually around $100-$200 USD.

If you have photos on your site that are good and think people might use them its easy to see if people are you can use a google tool to do so. Go to your photo right clikc it and go copy URL.

Then go to //https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi Click the picture of the camera and paste in the URL. Serach.
Google will then find any of your images on sites and you can see the Websites that aren't yours.  

If you would like details of what to do next post here and i will share that information.

For those using David 's photos i would make sure to contact her directly and get a written release.

Balloon Chit Chat / Last balloon model
April 01, 2013, 07:39:51 PM
If you had to choose one model to make for te rest of time why would it be,

For me it would have to e the monkey in the coconut tree hat,
Why? Because its big, cute and it never ever fails to get a laugh

Balloon Chit Chat / What are you must have DvD's
March 27, 2013, 10:06:50 PM
Title says it all, i have watched 113 hours of you-tube videos (i have a chrome plugin) in regards to balloons, i think ive got almost everything im going to get out of that, Most of what i make is bracletts, but i want to make other fast stuff,

I run a photo booth rental company and am trying to expanded into other stuff (i now offer DJ'ing, balloon archs and towers) , the last few jobs ive done where they have not hired a balloon guy (2 weddings and a 50th birthday) ive been making balloons for the kids that were there (mainly to keepp them out of the way so the adults can take photos,)

so im thinking as most of them time i can have an emplyee man the photo booths i can start offering balloon twisting as an add on.

What Dvd's would you recommend as Must have, Must see.
