Story time. We didn’t have a big to-do when my younger son was born for reasons, then at six months we held a big celebration for him. I was fishing around for photographers (I have many pro photpgrapher friends and many more who are extremely talented; you know where this is going), and a friend offered to take the photos. He’s really good, especially at portraits. I paid him upfront, because of course I knew he’d come through and I didn’t want to deal with money. And it wasn’t that much in the grand scheme.
Half the photos he takes with his iPhone indoors, circa 2018 models. They are ok, but I keep thinking I’m missing out on something. The iPhone photos are good. Well, then I waited for the DSLR images. He was working on them. Needed another weekend. Eventually I flat out said just send me anything, these are his baby photos.
They finally arrived, completely unprocessed, a few months before he turned two. I’m still pissed off.
