This is aimed at absolutely nobody in particular. Just something I've noticed when browsing pictures on message boards, websites, MySpace, etc.

Please. If you're going to take a picture where you're trying to look "goth" or "medieval" or something...

USE AN APPROPRIATE BACKDROP.

In medieval dress? Get outside and stand in front of a tree or something. And try not to have chainlink fence behind you.

In goth garb? Fake wood paneling and living room sofas really spoil the effect. At very least find a blank wall and light a couple candles or something.

I'm a very, very suck photographer. But even the worst snapshot-taker can hang a sheet up or step outside.

Nice pic of the family reunion. Hee hee!

I agree, but can't always ablige. I dress up and want my pic taken before I mess up my hair, run my stockings..........and end up red eyed. Which happens just about everytime I go out so.....I take pics in my living room sometimes. I wish I had a black curtain to stand in front of.

When we took publicity photos for "Romeo & Juliet" we road tripped to Canterbury Village because there are some awesome backdrops there. I have yet to get a copy of the picture of Benvolio killing rotodendrums though.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
