Hi Holga girl. I want you to know that I never ever gave the girl an attitude or anything when she asked for the release. I wasn't mad at all. I was actually flattered that she thought my photos were that good. I will admit I was irritated when she was crappy with me from the very beginning of the phone call, like she already knew I was a thief!
But anyhow i told her that I understand and that I was actually happy, knowing that if I do get into this proffessionalyly one day that my stuff will be protected. She didn't care what I was saying. She was very stubborn and extremely rude and all I wanted to know was what does my release have to say on it.
Her anwser to that - you have to prove that you took these photographs. Well then she wouldnt tell me how to prove it. I asked her and she said Ma'ame, you need a release for those. It was just circles I was going in with her over and over. All I needed her to tell me was what should my release say. She said, If you're a photographer you should know.
I was VERY frustrated. I told her I was flattered that she was complimenting me sort of but that I really need to know how to do this because i was at a loss. I mean I even went so far as to tell her the make and model of my camera, the settings, the lighting and all about the subject, I just didnt get why she was so mad about it all.
I can see it being irritating that people often try to steal other people's stuff of course! That just sucks. But you would think with all that info I had she might think to herself hmmm, wait a minute here, maybe this time I am wrong.
All I asked her to tell me is what to include in my release form. SHe refused to help me.
I'm sorry people are so mean to you at work. I always try to be calm and levelheaded when I deal with someone in public and I have worked in retail before and had things thrown at me too (underwear! It was a clothing store. ) I understand the difference though, between policy and stubborn, bullheadedness, She was being just plain mean to me for no reason. y'know?
