ORIGINAL: LaTigresse I admit they have still not found the two little girls that went missing, just north of here, a couple months ago. I admit I am cranky with an extended family member. She is an optometrist with her own practice and does not do free exams or glasses for friends and family. It is not expected. BUT, she is expecting ME to give her photo files for FREE, rather than her spend money to download them from my website. How is it that she expects people to pay for her services yet, mine for her, should be free? I so badly want to tell her that she can have a lifetime of free photo files if she......pays for my website, all of my camera gear, all of my photo editing software........including updated versions of all of them, for my lifetime. LaT, why dont you offer a barter? By the way, you have some funny mail on the other side. Good stuff! If I actually needed and wore prescription glasses, I would have offered that option. I really do not think most people consider the investment of time and money a photographer makes. Not to mention, that batch of photos she wanted files of, I probably had 3ish hours of tweaking (photoshop and/or lightroom) invested in. Don't get me wrong, I love doing it. But I do need to get some $$ back as well. I used a $2,000.00+ camera body, a $2,500.00+ lens, over $1,000.00 of software on a $ 1,700.00-ish computer.......not to mention my 'spare' time, to create those 13 digital files she wants for free.
