New One...

[HotHolly]

So I had my very 1st client complain today that I made his glasses look invisable. They had no glare on the lens.

I thought that was a weird/ random complaint. How often do you hear that remark?

This was someone at an event, not the person that hired us. Fun times with crazy people!

i wouldn't make this anyone's motto, but....

"it's easier to please most of the people most the of the time, but it's impossible to please all of the people all of the time."
and i'm not sure where that comes from.

but you'll learn that some things are out of your control, and you never stop learning to roll w/ the punches. i'm still learning and i've been doing this going on 6 years now.

Heck, I'm still learning and I've been doing this for... well... not sure I want to admit how many years I've been doing this but it's been a LOT of years!

Holly, my suggestion... roll with the punches, as I'm sure you did!

[HotHolly]

Thanks for your encouragement! I did - I just never heard that one before. I'm wondering when I'll hear "you made me look too thin." :o)

I think the original quote is from Lincoln and goes, "You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time."

Could be wrong though...

That's who said it, so photographers at weddings, etc. can paraphrase him by substituting "please" for "fool" in Abe's original.

Wasn't that quote from P.T. Barnum, the first big circus promoter?

I thought adding glasses was one of the easier re-touching tasks. I think I learned it in 3rd grade.

It was Lincoln, not Barnum. Barnum probably thought he could fool all of the people all the time. His most famous saying was "There's a sucker born every minute." One of my favorite Barnum tricks was a series of signs in a museum that heralded: "This way to the fabulous egress!!!" People would leave, have to pay to get back in, and then to get on the upside of the joke, they would then tell their friends that they had to see the wonderful egress.

lol! Thanks, I needed that!

I had to go back and re-read that one....I hate glare on my glasses and would rather they appear like they're not there.

I remember my senior portraits the photog. made me change the angle of the glasses to eliminate the glare.
