    *sigh, yeah but out of sheer bewilderment.....

    She called me for business advice and complained how much a decent printer was going to cost her. I wondered why she didn't already know.
    So I asked her where she did her qualifications (assuming there might be some sort of course discount or 'trade' place to go to, and it came out that she hadn't even done 'Basic Photography'.

    I said you gotta be kidding, then she hung up on me.....
    BTW, she already spent a fortune on equipment she didn't know how to use, registered her business name, advertised in the local paper and had business cards printed

    I hate our wedding photo's, but been young we didnt know any better... we were saw photos that he had taken, but that must have been on a good day... in almost every photo you can see my hoop under my skirt... come on he should have at least picked that up... the photos are very dull and boring...

    I guess BHL and I will just have to get re-new our wedding and get some great photos with the winkies...

    I was just glad bad photos didnt jinx our marrage

    Im glad im not the only one.
    There is one lady that has a business, and i've looked on her website and the photos are really average, and i look at her costing and i think are you serious? I just hope no one has actually used her, she really needs more experience. And a bit of photoshop experience.

    Another that gets on my nerves is the price places like pixi photo charge for their photos. Rip off. If only people knew how much their mark up is, they might be a bit smarter in who they chose to get photos done.

    I just hate seeing studio style photos with shadows, and photos with alien limbs in the background and knowing people are paying for these photos. If i wanted every day photos, id take them myself.
