Dear Hollywood,
PLEASE STOP CRAPPING ON MY CHILDHOOD. Thanks.
Hearts and stars,

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!::
