My Cost of Doing Business (CDB) Formula

*****

I do destination photography. I keep it as simple as possible for myself and my client. All of my work is based on the NPPA (National Press Photographers Association) Cost of Doing Business (CDB) calculator. (https://nppa.org/calculator)

Studio rate: The studio is the base and support system for a photography business. You must know what your CDB is, and include it in the formula for arriving at your "Day Rate".

Day rate: I have a daily rate for a 10 hour day. I figure for 10 hours to include daily travel time and expenses to and from a job site. I also charge an hourly rate for daily time over 10 hours. This rate is negotiable for times when travel time is short for the day before work on the actual assignment begins. Example: travel and check-in takes 4 hours on a Monday. Project work actually begins on Tuesday morning.

Travel: gas, car rental, tolls, flight, etc. Any expense of getting my equipment and personal needs to and from a job is added here.

Per Diem: Food and lodging.

Incidentals: Any expense over and above normal per diem expenses

that must be met in order for me to complete my assignment.

I use the NPPA CDB calculator to figure what my daily Cost of Doing Business is while working in my home studio. This tells me how much I must earn as a "Day Rate" to keep my studio and myself in business. I then add travel, per diem, and incidentals to the equation.

Studio + travel + per diem + incidentals = Project Bid

I will soon post an article with links on where to get info on calculating each item of the above formula.

Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire

"Eve of Destruction" was written my P.F. Sloan, who was latter a founding member of the Grass Roots, in mid-1964. The Turtles recorded it on their debut album early in 1965. The Turtles did not release it as a single unto 1970, just before they broke up. Barry McGuire recorded it in July of 1965, and it became a #1 hit. Politicians of today refuse to learn from history. This song is dedicated to them.

David Ball Riding With Private Malone

Private Malone

David Ball

	G
	I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds

	C
When an	ad that said old Chevy somehow caught my eye

	G
	The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran

	C	D	G
but I	had that thousand d	ollars in my h	and.

	G
	It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn

	C
With t	hirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp

	D	C
and	when I pulled the cover off, It t	ook away my breath

	D
what she called a Chevy was a '6	6 Corvette.

	C	D
And	I felt a little guilty as	I counted out the bills

	G	C	D
but	what a thrill I got, when I	sat behind the w	heel.

	G
	I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note

	C	D	G
The d	ate was 1966 t	his is what he w	rote:

CHORUS:

	G	D	C	D
He said my n	ame is P	rivate A	ndrew M	alone

	G	D	C	D
and if y	ou're reading	this then I	didn't make it	home

	G	D	C	D
But for e	very dream that's	shattered,	another one comes	true

	C	D
this c	ar was once a dream of mine,	now it belongs to you

	G	D	C	D
and th	ough you may t	ake her and m	ake her your o	wn

	G	D	C	D	G
	You'll always be	rid-i	ng with P	rivate M	alone.

Verse: 2

	G
	Well it didn't take me long, I had her running good

	C
I loved	to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood.

	G
	I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down

	C	D	G
All th	e pretty girls woul	d stop and sta	re as I drove her through town

	G
	The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right,
	C
Bu	t it picked up that oldies show, especially late at night

	D	C
S	ometimes I thought that if I'd tu	rn real quick I'd see,

	D
A soldier riding shotgun, in the	seat right next to me.

Chorus:

	G	D	C	D
It was a you	ng man n	amed Pri	vate An	drew Malone

	G	D	C	D
Who foug	ht for his cou	ntry and n	ever made it h	ome

	G	D	C	D
But for e	very dream that's	shattered,	another one comes	true

	C	D
this c	ar was once a dream of his, b	ack when it was new

	G	D	C	D
and he	told me to ta	ke her and m	ake her my o	wn

	G	D	C	D	G
	And I was proud to be r	id-i	ng with P	rivate M	alone

Verse: 3

	C	D
	One night it was rainin' hard and I	took the curve to fast

	G	C	D
	I still don't remember much	about that fiery	crash

	G
	Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out

	C	D	G
they di	dn't get his name, but I	know without a d	oubt...

Chorus:

	G	D	C	D
It was a you	ng man n	amed Pri	vate An	drew Malone

	G	D	C	D
Who foug	ht for his cou	ntry and n	ever made it h	ome

	G	D	C	D
But for e	very dream that's	shattered,	another one comes	true

	C	D
this c	ar was once a dream of his, b	ack when it was new

	G	D	C	D
And I	know I wouldn'	t be here if	he hadn't t	agged along

	G	D	C	D	G
	Oh, Thank-God I was	rid-i	ng with Pr	ivate M	alone
