Needless to say... I'm kind of pissed right now... I had a good night until I found out that another paid photo session is probably going to fall through.. *sigh* I'm so tired of flakey people.. Everybody wants shit for free even if they have the money - it sucks.
My ex was the one hooking me up with the gig, but now the clients are wanting to shoot in two completely different cities which costs more money and takes more time... He decided to drop the bomb on me tonight and ask me when I can do it this weekend -- IE, I am only getting a day or two notice.. Of course my first response was, "Uhh.. obviously that will cost more, it's a whole other set + gas 'n such..." His response was "Well, if you go too high - I'm just going to have to do it myself with your camera.. I don't really need quality, I can photoshop it to where I need it.." Ok, so there's a double sided insult, I don't believe it was intentional BUT I'm still irritated.. With that comment I felt like he was mostly telling me "I'm doing YOU a favor by hooking you up"... I've already gave them a MAJOR deal, if they can't pay $60 more for another 50+ photographs, there's something wrong here.
Another shitty part about this is that I can't really tell anyone I know..
1) It's embarrassing.. I feel like my time of 2+ hours and abilities are well worth $160.. These photographs are suppose to be used for advertisement (fliers, shirts, etc), head shots to get booked by clubs, and other promo stuff... How cheap can you go on something like that? I plan on really getting involved.. am I pricing too high ?? Most photographers charge $200 a set AT LEAST.
2) I don't like bitching to people.. Last thing people want to hear is a boat load of negativity so I avoid mentioning it unless I really can't hold it back... like now...
3) My bf already dislikes my ex and didn't care for the idea of me even doing the shoot so that would be just adding fuel to the fire..
I just wish I could work on the landscape photographs that I took today in order to calm my anger down, but I can't... I have to try to go to bed or else I won't be able to wake up at 5 am tomorrow, like normal.
Ughhhh... I hope everyone else is having a better day then me
P.S.
Another thing that frustrates me is that there is this girl that "likes" me *as juvenille as that sounds* that I've had an attraction towards as well.. She's lost a lot of weight... She's looking so adorable.. It just sucks my bf isn't more open with me having independent girl time
I have to be honest, I can see where he is coming from but it doesn't make it suck any less that I can't morally have her

Jynee said you got food poisoning so I wanted to stop by and say I hope you're feeling better. I know how much that sucks. Drink tons and tons of water though. (or gatorade or ensure) to keep hydrated. Feel better soon! xo
