A great way to make money with photography is to focus on events. You will be surprised about how many people want events covered and photographed.

Here’s how you can do it

Cover only events where it is hard for people to take the pics themselves and where they will want to keep their memories frozen in film.

One idea is to go to kids sports events. Get permission from the coach to click pics for the parents watching and then start clicking away. If you turn up with a great big telephoto lens like the ones used for pro coverage of events, you will be taken seriously. Make sure you get all the kids doing great action shots and then hand out flyers to all the kids’ parents watching with your web address. If you can grab the parents email address so you can email them the URL of you site then upload the pics to your web site that day and email everyone. If you have a simple shopping cart set up you can make money in a few hours as people pop in to see the pics and buy them for $20 or more a pop.

You can do a similar thing with weddings. Take all the normal pictures as part of the wedding coverage but then get your URL printed on the wedding invites and all the other wedding materials and also get an email list of all the wedding guests, offer the couple a nice 20% discount for doing this and then take lots of extra pics at the wedding of the guests doing all the things they do. Upload all the pics to your site and send the emails. You will then make a lot more money than the 20% discount it cost you because then 20 or 30 people will be also buying your pics at $20 or more a shot straight from your site. Charging a higher price for high res pics is also a great money spinner.

The trick is to find a niche where you can excel by being the best photographer in the room, and offering an easy way for people to buy your photos.

Dog shows, fashion shows, horse shows, car shows, livestock competitions, rock shows, – the list goes on. Keep your eye out in the events section of your local paper to see what is happening. Always ask for permission to shoot pics and if you need to offer the people 10% of the income if feel you need to so you can get easy access.

So you are in the food festival now. The sights are great, the sound is excellent; heck the air is tasty as it is, permeated with the sweet smell of fruit, fish, cheese or anything which is the theme of the area. But you stand there, in the center of the crowd, not knowing what to do. What the heck, you ask yourself “Why am I even here?”

A food festival is a great way for you to be able to acquaint yourself with the art of food crafting. There are a lot of things you can learn from, like what to do during a fair or a festival; how do you manage a food table (and avoid itchy hands from reaching in and grabbing some of your food stuff). You could also do with knowing what foods to serve and not to serve; of course, this is all in the off chance that you are interested with food crafting.

Otherwise, the food festival is quite open for anything else, whether you’re the next Donald Trump of the food industry or just the average Joe looking for a good time in the fair. But the food festival is more than that. Food festivals almost always sell food cheap if you buy in bulk. Hence, buy your food in bulk. Most festivals sell ingredients at a cheap price if you buy lots. It would also be a good time to acquaint yourself with the people in the market, behind those products you are buying. Knowing the man behind the product is knowing the product after all.

You get to know more about stuff you thought you already knew about. Knowledge is both power, indispensable and valuable. New breakthroughs in preparing, cooking and serving, new combination, new developments; everything usually happens first in a food fair. Why? Because the network is most active there. You have your producers there, you have the people that cook these food, and you have your gastronomes too. If you are an avid cook, or even just an amateur, the place would be a gold mine for new things to try out.

The festival is a good place for people who want to meet under the circumstance of same interests. The food festival is primarily aimed for people who have both the interest and appetite for knowledge, good food and good living. The things applied in the festival, the things you will know will help you in your daily living, so try and visit sometimes. An opportunity like this should not be missed.

Cakes are considered to be the epitome and the culmination of all things pastry and nice. Cakes are soft, sweet and quite nice to look at it is almost a shame to eat it. They are made up of the highest and finest quality flour, the prime of the crop, the most irresistible of basic ingredients known to man. You could say that cakes represent all that is good about food (except diabetes but let’s not talk about that).

By tradition, a sweet, delicious cake is a type of baked food that is of the pastry nature. Sweet, baked (traditionally. There are cakes that need no baking…like the ice box cake type). The basic ingredients to a wonderful cake is a base (consisting of dry ingredients and liquid ingredients). These are usually flour for the dry, and something that could bring out the gluten (a binding agent) from it, like something simple like water, or complicated like egg yolks. Fats and liquids are added to further strengthen the base and add flavor or color as well. This is for the normal cake though, there are special cakes that break the mold of convention through rigorous substitution and what not.

But do you have any idea what a good cake is for a festival run? First, try and check what the environment is like. Check the temperature, check the people that come in. Is it hot? Too cold? Are the audience the kid type? The adult type? Depending on the temperature, it would affect what contrast you have in mind. Kids making up the general population, your cake should focus on fun and colors. Otherwise, sophistication and taste should be your priority if you have the classy gents and the snobbish ladies (chocolate is still your best bet).

Cakes can directly affect the mood of a person, and it can also be used to tantalize people into buying more. A sour cake, for example, improves the appetite of whoever eats it. Perhaps serving one would coax them into splurging on some sugar. Or opt for artificial sweeteners, to cater to diabetics and those that are watching out for the bulge.

Cakes are all around. They can support themselves if need be, you just need a willing audience and a whole lot of networking. And innovation too. You must keep cakes from getting boring. Add some pizazz. Spice them up when needed. Cakes are the star of the show, YOUR show. A little bit of flare and enthusiasm would certainly go a long way for you and your cake.

Summer is the time for fun. Not just ordinary fun, it is fun under the heat of the sun. Summertime is the favourite season amongst many kids: No school, longer days, and lots of running around outdoors. School breaks for the summer and it is always the best time to plan a family get away.

For most children summer means more outdoor activities, swimming, camping, bike riding etc. For parents this is the time for being extra on guard in keeping their kids safe and healthy. Keeping the family safe is one of the major concerns summer brings.

Family safety means being alert 24/7. During the rest of the year, most kids come to emergency rooms for illness or some infective disease, but during summer, a lot more of these are unintentional injuries. There are many safety tips professionals recommend.

Staying long hours under the sun might cause sunburns and skin infections to kids. Some parents’ misapprehension is that they just grease their kids up the minute they get to the pool or beach. Fact is sunscreens take effects 20 minutes after the application. A smarter approach is that you put sunscreen before leaving the house and generously apply again every 2 hours. During beach and pool stay, never be sure enough to lull around and leave the kids alone. Even the best swimmers suffer tiredness and misjudge conditions. Keep watch from a spot that is close enough for you to respond in any case of emergency.

Make kids visible at all time. Always make sure kids wear reflective clothes during light out time. Most drivers do not notice kids in the streets. Bikes and scooters should have reflective appliqus for them to stay visible along the street. Summer is the time to chill out and have fun. But never forget that accidents are inevitable, it is best to keep safe at all times to not spoil the fun and spend the rest of the summer in a hospital bed.
