The photographer wasn't contracted by the school. We had another photographer to take our pictures for the yearbook (he was even more of an a$$hole). This guy was still very popular, my sister used him when she graduated two years before me and I saw one of my classmates leaving as I showed up. I wish I would have emphasized the lack of rapport he tried to achieve. I was actually talking to my sister about this last night. He was rushing through the pictures and gave me about 5 minutes to set up. For every photograph, I felt like I was being such a burden on him. For $700, I think I could have asked for more of his time.
