And maybe you never have tried to make a living as an event photographer. http://graywolfphoto.com/work.html
The Ren-Faire stuff was done develop and print 120 film, return the next weekend and try to sell prints. You are very lucky to sell 1/3 of the prints that way where if you can deliver them immediately you usually do about 2/3. That is also why I concentrated on the performers, they were the only ones I could be sure would be there the next weekend. The Opening was shot with 35mm because the customer, the salon, wanted slides. They said they would supply the film. Never believe the customer, I wound up shooting what I had in my camera bag because they had forgot to get the film. It was also the first time I delivered digital images, scanning the negatives. Digital would have made that sooooo..... much easier. But decent digital cameras were about $10,000 back then.
