Hello all,

Interesting article about a Canadian photographer who had to fight back against a massive smear campaign.

Interesting article.
Thank you for the link.

Canadian awards are usually a lot less than American awards. The bride ruined the photographer's business, she should have been forced to pay a lot more than $115k.

I have noticed lately that people are not satisfied with services like photography.
Are their expectations not really reasonable. Attacking a person or business is
not something anyone should do. Work it out with the supplier.

I have never shot a wedding. A few years ago my daughter had her second wedding
on the beach. No one was assigned to the shots and video. I shot some video with
a small camera and I was in the wedding giving the bride away etc etc.

I edited a reel for her (I am a producer that has shot at times) and my daughter said
Dad this is not your best work. Well I had a point=and-shot stills and video camera and was in
the events so I couldn't shoot those scenes. I didn't have a quality camera.
How weird weddings are. They are an event to enjoy but people think it is a feature film.
and whatever happens is it.

Ah, yes, freedom of speech is great but NOT without consequences!
