i recognize spooky's story.
i once was asked to shoot the cover for a band's new album, (the band now really became pretty huge), i was promised a pay of 10k and then i got mails from the Dutch record company, the graphic artist from the US (as he called himself), their manager, the band themselves, and they all wanted it like this, ooh and add that, and yes we want such and then so and then a little something like this.. and i remember it really got to unicorns and crap (it's a goth/metalband), then after two months i still couldn't get the communication straight, so ultimately i sent the manager an email with the suggestion to find someone else, as i wouldn't want to take such a risk. he was pissed as it was only 2 weeks prior to the shooting day.. all these months i got littered with emails about "don't listen to them, we want it like this" and it went on and on like that..
i was so relieved getting rid of it altogether... even though i did regret missing the 10k but then i thought, no way... not like this!
