No, I am not. Clearly someone was mistaking me for one.
So, I’m a photographer, right. And every now and then I have people try to TRICK me into shooting an event for them for free. I don’t like wool, so please dont try and put it over my eyes, no me gusta.
I get an email a few days ago from a theatre telling me that someone referred me to them and they would like me to shoot their gala. Yippppeeeeee, right? But wait, what do they offer me for payment…FREE tickets. I don’t think you understand. It’s free to see the shows. Get that…They offered me FREE tickets to something that is already FREE. They basically said, “Hey, chances are you’re bored and dumb so you might as well use your fancy camera over here, for free.”
Just imagine being at work and your boss asks you to work an extra 20 hours. For compensation, he offers you an extra pack of paper clips. That’s right, he’s going to give you all the paper clips (that are readily available to anyone), because there is NO WAY you could get them anywhere else; wool.
Here’s some more things that PMO about this email:
1. This lady starts the email by telling me how great the person that referred me is. (Nope, nothing about how great I am. Maybe you think she’s so great because she convinced you that I was a jackass and willing to work for these “tickets.” PMO)
2. Then she tells me they are celebrating their 30th anniversary. (So, after 30 years, you guys haven’t found a way to raise money.)
3. There will be great food and an open bar. (Oh, because I will be able to enjoy these things right? So you guys HAVE found a way to raise money, but just not to pay me because the person who referred me told you I was a jackass.)
So yeah, ma’am from the theatre, go blow dry your face.
