The Missing Ingredient

When doing websites. I always told people upfront, you can do it cheap, fast, or good. Pick two because all three doesn’t exist.

Really depends though.

I do photography/videography as a salaried employee with my personal $5k camera and singular 50mm lens, so my paycheck is technically what I’m paid.

I made my work buy 4 other specialty lenses and continuously growing inventory of accessories. So probably push that number up around $10k+. My services at my job equals like $50ish an hour. With my $10k+ worth of equipment. But I get health benefits… yay…

When I do side jobs, I don’t charge much. Corporate headshots for example are about $100 per person or $300 for a certain amount of time for everyone on the same day. So depends how much of a pain in the ass they’ll be.

I also have worked with scheduling external photographers by the hour, photo journalists, not your wedding/graduation people which she looks like based on her images style. Costs are regional and based on demand/completion in that area. So someone can cost $1,000 for 2-hours on-site in Boston and someone can cost $400 for 2-hours in middle nowhere Kansas.

So what I’m saying is equipment costs a lot obviously. Yes it’s fair to charge more than $300 a session, but you better be damn good to ask $1,000 for 2-hours of your time.

Not everything David Lynch does is good. Some creative decisions he makes are just awkward.

I’m probably younger than you. Had a severely fucked up childhood. I can say I’m not afraid of much because I was locked in a dark unfinished basement for multiple days well my mom had “friends” over.

Do I want to do that to my kids? Fuck no. Sure it would be easier to scare the shit out of them until you’re so scared and hopeless you just give up those feelings. But there are gradual and healthier ways to deal with a child’s fear of the unknown that don’t make them unable to connect with other people on an emotional level.

I have many more examples, but the point is I have been abused and left to take care of myself. It did build independence. But I also spent most of my life even into adulthood trying to destroy myself and everything around me because I took that darkness in. I can recognize the cost was not worth it.

Gotta get them early. My 6 year old wants to be a solider or police officer and talks about Jesus and God a lot.

As an anti-establishment and atheist household. He’s not getting this from us. He’s picking it up at school.

I don’t try to fight him on it. But I don’t condone blindly following and challenge my kids to be introspective on their beliefs. If after taking the time to really think things through he decides to stay the course at least it was his decision.

Anyhow these tactics are intentional and always present throughout life. The best thing to arm a child with is feeling comfortable to ask “why”.

I’d just pee in the chasm instead.

I’m trying to picture this. However all I can imagine is their ass skin being torn to shreds as two chunks of solid ass meat bang loudly on the floor.

Not sure that is exactly what this means.
