Hey..........not crap, just the facts mam!

Jeeeeeeezzzzzg. photobooth. I really sorry this hit close to home! I though it was funny.

This really wasn't targeted to you, but now, I know you process a lack of humor.

Next you'll be posting fake craigslist ads that say something similar.

Pathetic.

Why? What purpose does this post serve? Grow up.

Unfortunately it is rather negative, and I think this kind of video is overdone - i've seen so many links to different ones that are all basically the same - photographer vs wannabe and customer vs wannabe. It's an old joke that hasn't gotten better in my opinion. I don't think that it's being viewed by people who should see it, and even then I bet they go defensive and think, oh, im not like that, im not that bad. etc. So I'm not sure that these videos are helping anyone.

If I were a better writer, i'd create something that's educational as opposed to scolding and scalding and make it funny

Me tooooooooo! However, I guess it hit a raw nerve with some here on DPS. But, be rest rest assured, I'll keep posting stuff like this, whether or not it hits too close to home with some members here.

All it did was spout out a bunch of stereotypes about new photographers in a bad attempt at...what was the purpose? Ironically, all it does is further the stereotype that older photographers are arrogant, bitter old men who are threatened by the new guys.

As for the craigslist ad, that's actually interesting and worth discussing. Maybe post it in the "Earning" section with your thoughts.

I'm not threatened by anybody, old and new alike. I'm paid very well for what i do. I'm not bitter or arrogant, just speaking the facts mam! If it hits too close to home for ya, that's fine with me.
