Ah, what a wonderful Christmas. My aunt is being a pain in the ass. She's mad at my grandfather (her father); she refused to help decorate the tree a couple weeks ago, she refused to help fix dinner, she showed up just before dinner when we were setting the table, questioned our use of the good porcelain and silver, and was otherwise what I consider extremely rude.

Oh, but she had no problem collecting the traditional gift of a check.

My entire life she's complained about how my grandfather is stubborn and holds grudges. Pot, meet kettle.

To top it off, she agreed to photograph someone's wedding in March. No problem there, right? Wrong; she expects to borrow my equipment. Nothing like agreeing to do the work before she asked me, and placing me in an uncomfortable position.

Oh, and she'll be paid for her work. So she wants me to lend her a few thousand dollar's worth of photography equipment so she can make money with it, and expects me to do so for free. Excuse me? I don't want to lend out my equipment in the first place; who knows what could happen to it? But if you're going to ask so you can make a profit, you could at least offer to rent it or otherwise compensate me.

What are we, communists?

Did I mention she also asked me if I'd show her the ins and outs of my various lenses and accessories, and maybe offer tips, secrets, and other arcana?

I hope she uses her undeserved Christmas money to buy her own camera.

In other, related news, I've decided I must keep an eye out for a bargain DSLR that I can convert for IR work. Preferably a Canon 20D or 30D, or maybe a Sigma SD10 (which is easily converted and can use my Canon EF lenses).

That's about fifth on the list, though; I have my eye on some other stuff I have to get first.

Please don't ask to borrow it.

Update:

Now all I can think about is Jessica Biel in a short-skirted elf costume.

I would ask your aunt if she has any thoughts about your taking the job for her. You know, since you have all of the equipment and capabilities to do so. (Then punch her in the face for good measure.)

Also, you reminded me I no longer have a nice camera. Damn you. DAMN YOU!!! Meh. I've been waiting this long, I suppose it won't kill me to wait another couple of months until I can afford a proper one again.
I bought a Fujifilm Finepix just to have something, and it sucks Hillary Clinton cock. If I knew then...
