Not for him, apparently - but what about you? You're
No, not really. The more I think about this, the more it makes sense to me. The 300 foot mark will end up at the bottom of the frame. If I have to step back a few feet to accomplish that, I don’t think there is a problem with that. It ends up being a photo with a FOV of 300 feet from his business.
Not that I was impatient, more like I had the time, the weather was beautiful, and traffic was almost non existent, making it easy to step out into the street to take the shots. I didn’t foresee what it was going to develop into....Ok, maybe a little impatient
Well, making the low resolution prints was no skin off my back, and seemed like a good idea to find out if I was getting what he wanted, and an excuse to shoot something in great weather. It did not take me from doing something else.
Having to reshoot is also no big deal, since I’m at that spot 2 to 4 times a day anyway. The customer's expectation that the price will be lower because the prints will be low resolution B&W is the only part of this that may be unpleasant. I didn’t see that coming. I was shooting with the intent to print 8 x 10 sharp images in color. I shot RAW even! I would never have anticipated the customer wanting poor resolution B&W. Anyone here ever had that kind of request before?So now
you're paying for #1 by having to reshoot and #2 by your customer's
expectation that the price will be lower.
Good lessons to learn for next time

Small, family owned business, and according to the book "Fast Food Nation", the healthiest of all the fast food chains on the planet. The daughter inheriting it all will likely screw up the company by taking it nationwide. The one by LAX is probably the first stop for anyone in the know.
not to mention the rest of the world (as if the election didn't do
that already).
but, all in, i'd be a happier man if they'd start delivering animal

I've had the fries animal style. Wow, what a heart attack in a boat!
Well that's possible. But it makes me wonder why he asked you to do it in the first place.
