Hey Cody,
I got the CD from Linda today and although I am very appreciative of you coming and taking photos, I am not happy with the pics. Out of 169 pictures I am literally in about 10...5 or so that I maybe posed in, the others I was either in the background, or not ready or posed in and I look like crap
I know we agreed that you would be taking pictures of the party, however my husband and I are pretty obsolete. Chris told me after the party that he gave you more money on top of your rate to get some of me which makes me more upset because I'm in a limited few however there are several of certain people that were at the party. I'm not a professional photographer but I take a lot of pics. Anyone who knows me knows that I always have a camera when I go somewhere and unfortunately I didn't keep my camera with me the night of the party because you were there, and I'm kicking myself now because I don't have hardly any good pics of my husband and I to show for the hard work we did to throw this party. Regardless, I'm glad you came, but me being me, I had to vent my frustration.
Am I just biting off more than I can chew or am I really just so mislead by the people around me to think I have what it takes? I don't even know any more. I want to just say Fuck it and pack my camera and all my equipment away and re-think my life and figure out what I am going to do now.
I keep getting told not to let one person stop me from doing something I love so much and yet it hurts so bad to know that I was not good enough to produce something that will be enjoyed for years to come. As much as I would love to pour my heart out right now on the matter I have now began to "Crash" and want to give up... So I shall wish you all a good night and a great tomorrow.
I'm sorry you had to deal with someone like that. What a bitch... Just keep in mind that you can't please everyone. Ok? Your only human, and we all have our limitations. This woman seems to have a lot more problems than you do. She sounded like she wanted to be the star of the party... Just keep your chin up! I love your photography!
