say cheese

So I was at the bar last night, minding my own business when some girls asked me to take a picture of them for them.  I felt happy that they chose me of all the people on earth, and didn't think it was random because I do think I take pretty good pictures.  So I took it, it turned out well and they where pleased.

A few minutes later, I see them asking another guy to take a picture of them.

Thinking the shoot went pretty well the first time, I decided to ask what was going on.

me: "Whoa, Whoa, what happened? Was my photography not good enough?"

them: "Well we decided to try someone else this time"

me: "I would like to have another chance, the lighting was no good, he was taller than me of course the picture will come out different he was shooting at a different angle, let do it again I promise I won't let you down!"

So they agreed, I took the picture, and something with the light and the frizzyness of the rain made the picture come out pretty bad, so I gave the camera back to them, they took a look.

them: "Oh, this picture sucks! Delete it!  You are fired!"

me: "Well maybe it wasn't the photographer, but the models that are the problem"

And that is when I realized that maybe my photography was not as important as the self esteem of these three girls.  Next time.
