Do i have the right to be angry here

ashleighmcf · May 21, 2011

One minute you say you are just worried about him spending his money and then the next you are trashing his work. IMO you have no right to be angry over this issue, like so what the guy got a new camera. I think you are totally jealous of him point blank, You seriously seem really immature. Your whole approach to your "friend" getting a new camera seems a tad crazy and wow I would hate to be your friend.

My 2 cents

K im gonna straighten things out for you guys. Im not jealous of his equipment we make the same amount of money and i actually have more to play with because i have less responsibilities.I am jealous of his determination but angry with his arrogance. You only have one shot to make a first impression and i dont want his to be a fake bokeh with his sons shirt as the main focus. thats it his gear is of no value to me. I could buy the nikon d3x right now but im not good enough for it yet. But im not going to respond to this thread anymore so if you guys really want this to die its up to you.

Well, I went to his portfolio and looked through his kid pics...but it was this shot of the piece of concrete re-bar and brush that convinced me, he's got mad skillz...

The guy must have some immense natural talent if getting halfway through an online course is his only training.

That IS interesting. Epp, did you just write that? lol. I guess that explains why so many people on American Idol are so confused when they don't get past the audition. "But all my friends tell me I'm really good! I KNOW I'm good!"

IMO, you don't have a right to be upset but hey, it's your life right. If it was me I would just get over the fact that he has more balls to do what he wants.

So I have been practicing photography for 2 years now and i love it. My work collegue decided he wants to go into professional photography. He buys a 1k sony dslr and takes an online course. He didnt even finish the course and now he has a facebook page up with some pics of his son and some pics of birds as his portfolio. Im mad that he has no experience with photoshoots other than his son and hes charging. Ive been wanting to go pro but my plan is to be a current pro's helper.Its been less than 5 months since he decided to take up photography. Im not sure if hes good enough i just dont want him to blow all his money on high end equipment and fail. I am a little jealous for his determination but im angry with his arrogance. What do you guys think
