"I Think About You All The Time - Especially When I Want Something From You"
Canon G7x Mark II

Out of the blue - I got a text from a person that has not once contacted me in years. They said that they thought about me all the time - AND - by the way - could I photograph an event that they were a part of - for no money - BUT - it would be "a great experience" and a "chance to reconnect." As it happened I was in the forced-birth state of Gilead so I couldn't help them out. I did suggest another (much better) photographer that likes to shoot such events.. I even googled the contact information for the photographer because apparently the person asking didn't know how to do that.. Then - instead of just saying thank-you and toddling off, they started with "Oh - I really would like to see you - why don't you come over for dinner?" Christ on a bicycle.. I just ignored the bullshit and eventually they got the hint and dropped it.. In years past - I would have gone running to that invitation despite the fact that the invitation was only extended to cover the fact that they were just contacting me to do something for them.. The Power of No is still strong... ~ |
