    I hope you were able to walk away and pocket some of those winnings.

    • absolutely ... could have played more on Sunday afternoon but decided to head back home with my winnings.Ramanisky2
    • Were you in a tournament, or just a sit and go table?monospaced
    • it was a $2/$5 cash game.Ramanisky2
    • plus the AC in my townhouse is busted and that shit's gonna cost me in the neighborhood of $5,000 so this $$ will def help.Ramanisky2

    LOLZ @ the guy who wanted me to shoot photos for his band's show last night but didn't want to do it because he thought the venue wasn't that appealing for "good" photos, who then posted 70, SEVENTY shitty cell phone photos of the show to Facebook, 2/3 of which are nearly identical to at least another photo in the set. I seriously don't get how people can't look at a photo set and think "this one looks just like this one. and this one. and this one. Maybe I should choose ONE of them." I would have given him 15 photos that were the best, with each showing a different moment that was distinguishable from the other photos. Of his 70 photos, he could have narrowed down to eight.

    • I'm not even saying this just to vent. I seriously have no idea how people can be so unaware of narrowing down a set of photos to the best ones.mg33
    • did you quote him a $ price?Ramanisky2
    • Don't even get me started on the photos that are truly shit and look like a digital watercolor painting because someone thinks digital zoom should ever be usedmg33
    • Ram - yeah. I came up with a pricing structure that would have been $180 for an hour of shooting, and 15 limited use licensed photos.mg33
    • He was cool with that completely, but then thought the venue wasn't appealing enough. I even had photos to show him from that venue I'd shot that looked good.mg33
    • I've taken great band shots in shitty venues that turned out great with stage lighting and a crowdmonospaced
    • Same here. Same venue as his show:

      mg33
    • I really need to start doing a weekly blog post with advice to novice photographers on this sort of stuff. I'd rather turn an annoyance into a positive thing.mg33
    • he probably got wasted. high and drunk and dumbdrake-von-drake
    • Def sucks. But, maybe he was just using the venue as an excuse because he didn't want to pay for photography but also didn't want to admit to being a cheapo.nb
    • now I have to see his pics ....
      c'mon post the link :)
      Ramanisky2
    • nb - he hired a video service to record the show. he's not cheap with money, I just think he doesn't know any better. well, maybe he spent too much on video...mg33
    • Yeah, and no excuse for posting 70 photos of anything.nb
    • I wish I could share them but don't want to cross that line. Just imagine clicking through 6 portrait photos of a dude at a microphone.mg33
    • I'll give him a C for effort, he didn't want to hurt your feelings by telling you he doesn't need you for pictures because Instagram.Maaku

    • What is "limited used license photos" mean in this case? shooting a friend's band at small venue here in san diego next sat and im pretty much offerimg toHijoDMaite
    • Shoot for free but the band is very legit and they could become a lot bigger.HijoDMaite
    • As in photographer holds the right to the photo. The can can only use photos for social media. No reprint. No other product derived from it. Etc etcpango
    • Hijo - send me an email and I will send you a link to my pricing structure. It could be helpful.mg33
    • Thanks mg will doHijoDMaite
    • Thanks pango thats what im looking for.HijoDMaite
    • Pretty much what Pango said, and protects you from selling a photo for too cheap that is used commercially to make money for the client.mg33

    Why do some jobs say "no calls please" in the description?

    Maybe I lack self confidence.

    I can't tell if girls are into me, I always just assume their being nice or friend zoning me when they laugh at my jokes and tap me.

    I finally got to read the script I wrote when I was 12-13. I haven't recovered the floppy disc it was on, but I did find a printed copy - 80 pages but missing page 1.

    Holy crap some of the characters I came up with are crazy. The comic relief for the entire story turns out to be the product of a rape with an uncaring mother. That's how I explained why he was so lost and aimless. I completely forgot about that detail until I found a hard copy. It's a wonder my mother never raided my computer and journals. If she did we definitely would have had a talk.

    • cool. i wrote about weird shit too when I ws a kid. I found my comics from adolesence not too long agodocpoz
    • My earlier drawings looked like i was high on LSD... i wasn't... probably didn't even know what LSD was. just liked shinny trippy stuffs...pango
    • i just want to toast to weirdnessdocpoz
    • conclusion: we don't know what we were thinking when we were kids?pango
    • Waive that weird flag high.shellie
    • you need to make a t-shirt out of that floppy :)Gnash
    • I will Chossy. That's a really awesome idea and I need a new short design anyway. If I get that into production I'll send u one.shellie
    • That's Chossy?!?pango

    A client asked me to fix his Wordpress site which was built not by me. It's got some custom functions, but it's pretty typical. After a while, client mentions to me he is editing the .php files when he wants to change headings, etc. So, he edits some parts of his site via WP, but other parts via FTP, even sometimes editing php pages that are part of the WP install.

    He told me that's how his developer made it. Is this at all common? Have any of you ever had a reason to do this? Because to me it seems fucking insane and ridiculous. Am I crazy?

    • It's not ideal but it makes sense. You could edit via the Theme>Editor portion of the dashboard. FTP - maybe he's changing the code locally, then overwriting.mg33
    • And the PHP pages, maybe he's editing these on the server, like through CPanel>File Manager.mg33
    • It sucks that the client has to do all that to make simple changes but you'll either have to deal with it or suggest changes eh?shellie
    • You should mail him glitter.mg33
    • Oh wait, that company went under :(mg33
    • nb... very common. I'm in the middle of the exact same thing right now for a photographer who got screwed by his initial dev. :(PonyBoy

    So I heard media temple is getting bought out. Anyone hear anything?

    • Yea, I literally just heard it was getting bought outset

    @hayoth: I'd show you buying department every single penny that crash caused by cheap drives cost them.

    And I'd make them responsible for this, really make them bleed. I'm so sick of stuff not working because somebody who has no clue decides over what he has been consulted.

    • consumer drives für the whole agency work, wtf were they thinkin? Saving like $500, thats fucking peanutsmekk
    • Agree. I dont work for the smartest people. We purchased an enterprise replacements, while my input is valued, im not the decision maker.Hayoth
    • Our production manager/production artist manages the server, while he is smart, he has been responsible for two crashes. One crash lost everything.Hayoth
    • I have a friend that is very knowledgeable about serverbackups and used his insight to guide the rebuild process.Hayoth
    • The insane thing is we have one client that does over a $million in photography that we store! Our internal investments are lacking because the owner rides theHayoth

    "I would leave the words capitalized as currently written. It's more for emphasis rather than a proper noun."

    That's not how capitalization works!

    • if generic, what's the point, and what is being built on and growing organically other than a pile of random shapes and colors?imbecile

    • I like how the shape changes as different people leave different types of stain shapes in front of their computer engaging in online activities.yurimon
    • i dont think the average person is going to react like we will. most likely drool over themselves looking at the pretty colors. we are all different n specialyurimon
    • we are a rainbow. so its good in appealing for the audience thus makes it decent design.yurimon

    • BTW. Holy shit a design discussion.wagshaft
    • it wouldnt work without the names of people. somehow the shapes could be better thought out in my opinion like if you were to take each shape in a transparencyyurimon
    • like maybe at 15% opague and combine all available shapes to feel more modular like pieces of whole.yurimon
