In which I get cranky, because it really doesn't take much sometimes

So, I guess we're not shooting the church conference after all, and guess why? Because somebody in the church offered to do it for free. An event that's expecting thousands of attendees and many religious bigwigs, and they're entrusting it to a FREE photographer. That's such a spectacularly BAD idea, and I suspect they're going to get some baaaaad photos.

Why does nobody understand that you get what you pay for? When you work with people who are performing creative services for ridiculously cheap, or even free, that's when you get shoddy product, or flaky workers who can't be bothered to get your work done by the deadline. Granted, some people charge *lots* of money for shoddy product, but generally speaking, something you got for free won't yield better results than something you paid a reasonable fee for.

Oh well, maybe they're remember this next year, when they look through the photos and think, "yuck, I wish we'd have paid for a *good* photographer." ;p

And... um. I had a short rant typed out about not getting into the runway show because I'm "harder to dress," but I just learned that I DID make the cut. They listed me as "Sara," but since there are so many freakin' Sara(h)s in the world, I assumed they meant someone else. XD

I suppose I *could* replace it with a rant about people spelling my name wrong all the bloody time, but that happens so often that it's not even worth it. So.... ::poof!::

I agree with that coment! T_T Alvin, Simon and Theodore were NOT hoodlums! :(

Wow, they're going to give a classic a new, hip image! What a completely unique and original idea!

Somehow I think they'll miss both their target auudiences -- hip hop people and little kids.

You know, I was thinking, maybe it would be funny to watch if they did some kind of Run DMC thing with the Chipmunks.

...

Maybe not.

Well churches are supposed to be free n stuff. I can see how they'd want to do that, but they should get someone from the congregation if they're trying for freebies.

The funny thing about that chipmunks thing is that It's a remake of the chipmunks, from the 80's, which was a remake of the chipmunks from the 60's...
