the good news is that my mom finally got the july orchestra photos developed.

the bad news is that the photos were absolutely rubbish.

while i do thank the people who took time off to take the group photos for us, i cannot help but wonder why if it would be better if they didn't.

i kno i'm probably not going to come out of this sounding like a very nice person, but it really annoys me when i see photos - photos of the very last concert night - come out as crap.

like hello, all you had to do was to hold still, make sure everyone's in the center of the picture, and ensure that you don't take a picture that is 99% background.

is that too much to ask for?

i strongly suggest that all schools include a semester of photography training in their compulsory curriculum. it'll do alot of people alot of good.

plus, it will save me from having my head bitten off by my mom and dad for taking bad photos and 'fooling around with the camera' when the problem really isn't mine.
