It's a worry when your good lady says your not doing enough photography (news to me), why don't you "do" weddings.

Kobayashi.K · 05-03-2013, 01:30 PM

Your lady is obviously interested in weddings. So, give her a Pentax camera (if she hasn't one) and tell her to "do" them herself. We like to see the results here on PentaxForums.

Translation: You are either not working enough, or you are not making enough money, or both.

OR, "You've spent all that money on that stuff, now make some money with it to offset/justify the costs! Do weddings." Uh huh. Doesn't everyone just LOVE "doing weddings"?

Weddings are almost as much fun as having a tooth filled without anaesthetic.

Diplomacy is the word. You have to tell the lady to go to hell, in such a way, that she looks forward to the trip...

A true diplomat would make her look forward to the destination.

Judging by the replies some of my posts have received today - you may well have a point.

Just a naive question here: are you and the "good lady" married, or is she fishing for you to "do" one very specific wedding.....?

I think that if there was a show called "Top-10 Most Dangerous Jobs" (I can see it presented by Mike Rove....), wedding photographer would classify somewhat on par with "alligator proctologist" ....

I'm a twenty eight years married, you get less "time" incarcerated for murder in this country.

I assume to get full credit you need to apply this to live, unsedated and unrestrained beasts!

My real concern is how you've acquired this level of expertise.

In Danish, the word for "married" is "gift" - a word, which also means "poison".

Leading to a fairly self-evident wordplay about "gift" being something one takes not to get it....

But, of course!

Just to be clear....with probing the behinds of alligators, or with wedding photography?

I'm not brave enough to try my hand at wedding photography

Many alligators in Denmark to keep your hand in, so to speak?
