“Embrace failure.”
Set aside 7 minutes to listen to Milton Glaser, on the fear of failure. Like no other. From Berghs' Exhibition '11 on Vimeo.
A few photographs of The Jackson, a new loft building here in the Short North. I was hired to photograph the exterior and pool deck. Have a look.
There was no April update. The weather here in Columbus was absolutely awful. It rained practically all month. I was not pleased.
Regardless of weather, progress continued at the new Convention Center Hotel construction site. The site began as a pit, sunken almost 40 feet below street level. Since the last look at the project we've reached several milestones. The project is now out its pit and reached street level both to the back alley and more importantly High Street. It also seems they've reached the first floor of the hotel.
Elevation view from the north to the south. I'm guessing this foundation work will become a parking garage.
1. Definitely a question for Mike…. Mike?
Yeah, here I am Gabe. That’s a great question and a tough situation. You obviously don’t want to alienate a client you’ve had a good relationship with for 10 years, but my guess is that if they’ve been in business for 10 years they understand the need for contracts, and probably have them with their other vendors. Approach the situation delicately, let them know you’re at the point where you’re trying to tighten up your business practices and you’re getting all of your clients onboard. Explain the contract protects both of you and offer to walk through it together, in person if possible, instead of just e-mailing it in. It’s all going to come down to your delivery.
And congratulations on having a client for 10 years! Nicely done.

2. I’m sure there are resources, but I’m not aware of any in particular. As for whether it’s always a good idea to get a lawyer, I swear Mike will get mad at me if I say that you don’t always need one…. So, I’ll let him answer.
Thanks Gabe, When we were starting off we picked up a bunch of Nolo press books. I recommend them. But they’re no substitute for an actual lawyer. I recommend reading up a bit so that you know what questions to ask, and then getting a consultation with a lawyer that understands freelancing. Hunt around a little and you’ll find one that’ll do an initial free consultation.
AND the accompanying tumblr of Q&A with Mike and Gabe.
Terrific work guys - a true service to many.
