Being the Designated Party Photographer

Having a little gathering of friends? Maybe a birthday party? Awesome! We’d love to come! Just don’t fucking ask if we “could snap a few pictures.”

Just because we make a living from photography doesn’t mean we’re available to photograph all of your social occasions. Seriously, god forbid we would want to come and enjoy ourselves. We work several eighteen-hour days of photographing the most mind-numbing shit you could ever imagine in the hopes of making some extra cash to photograph something we might actually enjoy, so I think we deserve to drink away the pain in a social situation. By the way, this isn’t your little fucking fete.

Remember, as much as we all truly enjoy photography, it’s still our job. Would you come to our birthday party if we asked you to review some legal documents? Or process some mortgage paperwork? Shit, you could bring your middle school English class and get some more classroom time in.

You’d be better off asking your uncle anyways, he’s probably got a better camera than we do.
