Going to stop and wait

In the end the best course of action might be to just walk away from this one and not bother with it. No point letting one rude person upset your day/week

Personally I would have done the same thing as you did Kat. I would have been super pi$$ed off, but not have let it show because that is exactly what that rude b@stard was looking for - A Reaction.
We have a neighbour that is the same way, I just can't believe that some people can live their lives being totally miserable all of the time.

You could always charge him double - Just call it Payback.

Ha ha. I wish I could just say no and go but his wife..she plays hockey with me and she's a wonderful lady. For her, I didn't do a thing. It was funny going through the photos..you can see her and the two kids smiling and joking and laughing..he's the one that ruins it. That and highlights.. Boo..not to happy with it all.

Funny part..my clouds and snow that was suppose to be there came 10 mins after I was done..not a moment before..oh well. It is what it is.

Here are some of the kids (mom requested BW's as that is her fav)..will post my blown out shots soon!

thanks everyone!

Just do what is best for you in this case Kat. If that's deal with the lovely wife and provide the photos to her personally then do it for sure. In the end, you need to walk away feeling right about it.
For me it would have been the finger and get ....d ... for you ... a great learning experience and a friendship maintained.

I think I will still mention it to her. I don't think he should get away with it all together. I didn't appreciate it and it won't happen again.

I think that's a good idea.

you know it is always a sign of ignorance when people start telling you how easy it is. I hear it all the time about riding: all you do is sit there, horse does all the work, why does anyone need lessons, etc etc etc.

You won't be able to change a dickwad like that and if you engage he will only get worse to prove you wrong. sometimes it's better to just ignore and ask them to move away so you can concentrate. Tell him if he wants to supervise the rate is double

Husband was probably pissed that she didnt ask him to do it.

so no real solutions just sympathy and the 'I've been there experienced that' comraderie.

I guess every country has their share of asshats.

We used to do exactly that! If someone wanted to help us (in order to lower the costs of us building them something) we'd charge more. Simple fact was that the extra, inexperienced help, added up to us babysitting and it cost us time.

I guess every country has their share of asshats.

Australia doesn't. Yeh right!

I'm not a portrait photographer so I'm not sure what my opinion is worth but all I can say is that if the rest are anywhere near as good as those three you can call it a successful day. Those three are wonderful!
