NOT Running RF Photos
11 years ago
Heya!
Just dropping a note: Magelight is _NOT_ running the Photobooth at Rainfurrest this year, sorry. :(
To keep it simple: can't afford to. I might work for free, but my employees don't.
In more complex:
In '12 I wanted to prove it was possible to elevate the quality of a con photo session. I think we succeeded.
In '13 I tested out the idea of making prints of our photos. A lot of people were interested, but the arrangement of the room, the long lines, and so forth all conspired against us. (Hey, at least we were popular!)
The gist is, to run a photobooth I basically sink my entire con into it. I never get out of the room, I see no other part of the con, and it costs me a lot of money. Last year I put almost $2000 into running that photobooth, of which I got reimbursed for only about one quarter of it. I was hoping to make up the rest in print sales, but that just didn't work out.
So yeah, not running it this year. Actually, I haven't even heard who is. ^^;;
Best wishes tho, I hope they do well, and I hope you all have a great RF. :)
