Blah blah blah... This is to hard... This is to easy... This is to ordinary... I can't shoot cuz I'd have to borrow a camera... What a bunch of *%#! I would love to see what everybody would say if the art director for (pick your favorite) magazine, or (pick your favorite) Recording company came to you and said I need a shot that is based on a reflection. The shot is worth $5000.00 US currency. And I want it in three days. I can hear it now... "Gee Mr. Art Director dude that is just to hard... or that is just to overdone, or I am not sure if I can do that". Art Director Answers "Fine we'll get somebody else, BTW don't bother calling me again." Sorry if I sound a little terse here, but in the real world, that's the way it is. I am also sorry if this offends anyone. I do realize that a lot of people here are amature photographers who just do it for the fun, and I appreciate that. But I also know that some of you are very talented, have the potential to become a pro if you so desire. However sitting around and making up excuses is not going to get anyone anywhere. Except maybe onto the welfare rolls. Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.
