I have discovered something troublesome at work. I am 17, and a studio photographer. That's pretty awesome right? Very few people at 17 are allowed to be studio photographers. And therein lies the problem. Everytime a customer finds out that I'm only 17, they get all freaky. It's like I suddenly have to go above and beyond to prove myself as worthy of being a professional. And I hate it. And I think that it effects the amount of pictures that they buy. Because honestly, the people who don't find out, or don't look at me like "What the hell is she taking my pictures for" spend more. I mean, I understand that mine is a fairly uncommon situation, but hey. Don't judge me, butt-holes! <-- (girl at work uses it all the time. thought I's try it out.^_~) I am a good photographer. They wouldn't let me do it if I wasn't. My pictures wouldn't be on the wall if I wasn't. Idon't like it. I know what you're all going to say. Lie! I know. But it's really hard sometimes to lie. Because you'll be sitting there, just chatting away trying to keep them entertained and you'll let something slip, and it's all downhill from there. I've been doing better though. I've pretty much gotten used to saying that I'm studying photography at ASU, rather than I'm going to study it there. Watch my average improve. Grr. The unfairness of life. /:end rant P.S. I would like to say, that I love my job anyways. ^_^ Whoot GS! |
