No a/c, too many of us hired for the job so I ended up just standing around waiting for someone to send me on an errand, the kids dry-humped for four hours straight to rap music, the obese kids got overheated, and because kids were sneaking out to screw they put ROTC kids at all the doors to keep everyone else in. So they were bitching at us photogs for not letting them out (when the admin asked us specifically not to let anyone out by our door that we were set up in front of).

Fuck, the ROTC kids wouldn't even let me out even though I am an adult and have a fucking Lifetouch badge. They acted like the owned the world. I had to talk to the cops at the front entrance to let me out to fetch shit from my car and they were all, wtf, of course... but polite about it.

Ugh. Elementary kids were hard at first to learn to communicate with (started in with no experience in that whatsoever), but they're far far easier than dealing with high school kids. You just order them around and they're so obedient (most of the time)...

I felt old compared to these little horny twits. Dressed in these colorful, finely tailored and laced gowns, acting all princessy when we're doing their portraits (Can I see the picture? I think I blinked. Nnnno, you didn't blink, but feel free to take a look. Oh, well I don't like it anyway, can we take another one?). Fifteen minutes later they're humping like bunnies and I'm supposed to take candids of this shit! One coworker told me that I can simply take closeups to minimize the humping action, so I try it out of respect (although in my wedding photography experience I am aware that if a couple is dirty dancing, there's little you can do besides timing to portray it differently) and of coures it doesn't work since the dudes are angled away and the ladies are angled in, forming a v at the MIDDLE... I just settled on doing little creative things like working with the handcrafted dragon hanging from the ceiling ("oriental style"). It had doodads hanging all over and I did some candids of friends poking their heads through it, they loved it.

the only thing prom is good for is meeting up with everyone else to swap all of the drugs you'll be using later.

Just ask thumper about how much I stand around. And never presume to understand my wedding photography job when you fail to ask simple questions.
