[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 352354, member: 12855"] This reminds me of a funny story that happened in May or June - I posted something to the FB page for RAW Artists DC about it being a shame I missed an op to shoot some fashion for an up and coming local designer and some random girl adds me. I accept, shoot her a "hey, what's up," and while she takes the sweet time to reply I find her photo work and glance over it. Not my style, but quality and composition pretty much sucked. She gets back to me saying she likes my shots, asks what I'm shooting with, and then for some critique on her work..... I tell her my gear (minus the new 70-200), and totally rip on her since I've no idea who she is and she asked for it. And what do you think I hear back? I'll paraphrase, "...well sorry I don't have the money for fancy gear like you do, but I don't care - people like my work, I have lots of likes on my FB page... etc," and deletes me for being such an ass. Bottom line? Doesn't matter how much people like you work if its not worth a dime to them. My new fancy gear at that point all made back its cost to me in ~2.5 months of getting it. [/QUOTE]
