I have a large number of images shot during Hurricane Katrina and have been contacted by a business that wants to use several of them in print, web and trade material. Any idea on what to charge? They also want to hire me to spend a day (8 hrs) shooting their crews at work and provide them with those images. Again how much????

I've heard people say go big or go home. I guess you really have to be able to back up the work you do and are making a steady income from your images to be able to do that. As J said, I give people good deals if I think it will have them return or get some word of mouth. Selling to a media company like what you describe has me thinking that you shouldn't go too low. If they don't like what you are asking you can simply ask "what was it you were hoping to pay?" Then go from there.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

Wish this would happen more often, but I'll take what comes!
