JFC you’re an insufferable cunt sometimes.
It’s not like he made a “hang in there” cat photo
Or put ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS in ALLCAPS underneath his pic.
It’s a cool shot of a fall Teton still water lake foliage.
Maybe lake reflections are lame to you. But whenever I see them irl I stop and admire nature.
I like it. But as a dentist what do I know.

I dare you to look at the picture for more than 30 seconds without getting motion sickness. Also, why hang a landscape photo in a fucking place that is surrounded by beautiful landscapes? This whole thing is fucked.

Thanks for the laugh. Dyin over here. Wish I had the balls to be more like that when people ask for free labor. It even happens in my field. "We have this awesome project that's going to be huuuuudge. We just need you to X, Y, Z if you want to be a part of it... For free." And what's hilarious is when you tell them no, they get all pissy. WTF?
I've had numerous "offers" over the last couple years that would've required intense amounts of time (MONTHS) to accomplish, all with promises of getting a "seat at the table." "Don't you want that?!" I'd be like "I really just need to get paid for my work." Why is this such a difficult concept for some to grasp?
I used to know a rich trust fund brat I had to work with for a couple years. He was insufferable. Would be constantly trying to start big vision businesses (of course per the terms of his trust), and he would constantly be talking a big game to everyone with promises of getting them on the ground floor. He burned through a LOT of people, who he'd always get to do his bidding until nothing came to fruition and they parted ways. Having sacrificed untold amounts of free labor. Some of his ideas were honestly pretty good, but he had no follow through, so not one business plan ever really happened. Guy could sure smooth talk his ass off, though. Just not to me. He HATED when Id call him out on his BS. That personality seems common place amongst the entitled wealthy who have never had to struggle like the rest of us. Expecting free labor in exchange for "credit" or "exposure?" Piss off, asswipes.

Hey AB!! It’s been a minute. Just sitting here at the airport making my way home and catching up on this whole scenario. Proud of you for standing up for your rights. Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since we talked about you going out on your own. Keep on killing it my man - best to the fam!

Indeed. This is the right way to stand up for oneself.
I'm glad to be in an industry where no one expects anything for free. Imagine calling a contractor and suggesting he remodel your kitchen in exchange for "exposure" or whatever. You won't get a call back, that's for sure. Why would it be different for creative types?ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

Great stuff. I nominate this thread for The TGR Thread of the Year 2022.

Obviously creators should be paid for their work. The OP also asked for two nights at a hotel which where the cheapest room currently is 700+ per night, if you can get one. Next several weekends are booked solid.
They inquired, a price was given, they said no. That is how business works.
I'm struggling to be outraged that a business didn't want to give $1400+ in value for a social media photo. They didn't steal the photo, they didn't get all righteous about exposure or anything. They just walked away. The Wort might have been a bit presumptuous about asking for the discount they did, but that isn't illegal or unethical.
Photogs should be paid for their work, but they can't get pissed when people choose not to purchase at the price given or if someone asks for a discount. Unfortunately, photography in the Tetons is a very saturated market, so while OP's work may be worth that cost, that doesn't mean the Wort is required to pay it.Live Free or Die
