Default Things that make you go HA!

I have been doing the shoots for submissions to the NAHA. For whatever reason they used a different person for one shoot. This is where I go HA. I just got an e-mail asking if there is any thing I can do to fix what this person shot. I have a meeting with her tomorrow I will find out if there was any thing signed to even see if I can work on them
I think that what happens when you try to save a buck, it cost you more in the long run because I'm sure not going to do it for free.

You will be better off passing if there is ANY reason to do so......

I would offer the reshoot but they move the date up to have the their submissions in to Fri. And I'm scheduled to do the last shoot tonight. So to have my stuff in by Fri I don't think I will have time to work on the other persons pics. I have to tell you Pat there is good money in this, I made more there than I did with my last two weddings.

To be honest I don't think I will have time to work on the other person pics, and the only reason I would work on the pics is because they have done a lot for me. But I am a little put out,,, that shoot was not sapose to be till Jan and they moved it up because of the dead line. I was looking forward to the shoot, the hair was amazing. What the hey you win some you lose some.

I chose not to work the other persons photo, just doesn't feel right to me. But I do have one more shoot tonight, 6 models. Very cool to get paid for what I love doing.
