You can buy your wife a set of $10,000 boobs but you are so cheap you can't buy a $10 shot of her on vacation.

I just had a guy walk up to my event booth and take a picture of a GREAT shot of him and his (cosmetically enhanced) wife. He took a picture of my LCD screen with the shot being displayed on it.

Amazing. People have reduced photography to just cheap quick laughs with zero permanence. I'm thoroughly disgusted at how cheap some people are.

Wow! Thats pretty bad. If nothing else, that guy lacks ever basic manner I ever learned growing up. Sad, just sad...

My Dad had a saying that has gotten me through many aggrevating issues like this. "When the day is done he has to go home with him and you, fortunately, do not."

Why buy when you can lease it!!!

Amazing but why did you let him take a snapshot of your LCD?

Why did you even show him your LCD?

That's what I was wondering!

Can we see the $10,000 boobs? I don't care if you crop the head off!

Perv.

Yeah those things are something I will never understand. Instead of dealing with people who spent $10.000 for their boobs, I'm dealing with people (thanks good only few times a year) who spend $10.000 for their bikes. And paying $10 for photo is waaaay too much.
I was in xc skiing myself and if I would have any smallest chance to buy my photo when I was still skiing I would buy it... not for $10 but for $100 or more. Afterall it's nice to have some memory after 10 years. when you quit doing that.
Are those few $ really so much to get perfect memory for years after? I really never understood that, but hey... there's all sorts of people on world

I have 5 monitors showing pictures to customers plus 3 walls of contact sheets updated daily. It's HOW I sell my pictures.

My employee didn't change the picture in time as he went to snap a shot. With 3 staff trying to sell my shots all at once, when someone pulls out a P&S you don't lay the smack down.

It's his loss.

Oh ok. I thought you meant he was taking a picture of the LCD on your camera.

Ah, that IS cheap!!

Hehe change LCD for CRT... it will be harder to get photo of monitor screen then But on the other side your back is probably worth more then $10... at least mine is

I just changed CRT for LCD. CRT screens we had were terrible plus shipping new ones here would cost more than the monitor is worth. LCD boxes can come with you on the plane. The LCD looks crisper and customers want that.
