So I answer to an add on CL about needing a photog for a HS reunion. Guy calls me back and says he is a photographer and looking to hire other photogs. He wants the following

Start at 4pm end at 11pm
Bring your own studio/backdrop/lights (regular flashes wont do)
Pro camera and few lenses (mid tele and wide for group shots)
Take pics of at least 60 couples, some group shots and candids

Pay????............ $175

I tell him I've shot few weddings and some portraits and always shoot RAW. He tells me... Only idiots shoot RAW, so he calls me an idiot and he wants me to do this job for him??!! :confused::mad:

Just wenting a little... Now I feel better!:)

If he finds someone who'll do it he'll be laughing all the way to the bank. :p

Yeah, he's probably underpaying others to get more for himself. If anyone says yes, they need to have a good look at what all that gear they have is worth.
