Amendment

It was put to me that a view I expressed in my last post went a bit too far. I'll admit to letting my temper flare and get the better of me and in doing so I said something rather rude and disrespectful. I would like to amend that now.

My previous post had absolutely EVERYTHING to do with the individual I referred to and the FB status post that so offended me. In explaining my thoughts I seemed to hold those that are willing to pay the big bucks for wedding photos in contempt and that's not the message I meant to convey. I also did not mean to downplay the fact that there are photographers out there with remarkable talent that give their all to the job. I hadn't previously considered how difficult and stressful that job can be. I don't think as deeply about photography as some (it is not one of my passions) but I'm oh-so-glad people with that passion are out there documenting family histories and working so hard to preserve precious memories.

I'm bothered by the fact that jerks exist was, I guess, my ultimate point. And I'm aggravated by the fact that everything seems to cost so much and that there is so much pressure for people just starting out in life to pay HUGE amounts of money on one day of their lives... it's lovely but not absolutely necessary (even though so many people would have you believe otherwise).
