Wow! I have never had this
happen..... I don't understand "For free, and he won't take no for an answer." What is his intended purpose of the photos? Does he own a restaurant or a store? Just explain to him that you don't expect what he does for free. Explain about your investment in equipment and time, not forgetting your training and skill. If he is truly a friend, he will understand. If not .......

I once got a very fine watercolor paper and made a few prints in my new killer Epson 2200. Then, a friend came over and I brought one of those prints to show him. He immediately praised the landscape*. As I was standing by the door, he said "Gee, thanks much, [wife] will really like it" and proceeded to his car. No, really - I just stood there thinking if it was a joke or what, but he left with the print. Gone. I thought it was a good trade off if I got rid of him, but no! He recently called to ask for some food photos... For free. And he won't take a "no" for an answer. * I don't do much landscapes, and I do not like particularly doing sunsets. Have you had some such... "unreal" moments? ********************** www.alberto-tirado.com |
