Big fUCKing mistake

Took a risk and showed my recent photos of Amy to Pete (the miserable antique clock), what a fucking mistake.


Thought maybe there's a slim chance of him appreciating my lighting attempts to make a nice picture but he just threw it right back in my face, just negative criticism and attitude. Worse still he then went onto rant about me to Darren IN FRONT OF ME as if I was special needs and like I wasn't there! He was chucking my pictures around and rudely pointing at me while talking to Darren about me.
(Darren my photography teacher and a cool guy)

Proper pissed me off, I always have respect to people older than me, but what Pete did tonight was arrogant, humiliating and dis-respectful...and I have lost respect for him.

I refuse to let him see my work anymore.

I'm now starting to feel the same way some of the girls do about Pete and his relentless attitude.
After a good discussion with Darren about the project criteria, I put my head down and drafted loadsa critical analysis and shit about my work. Put forward how much time and film I wasted and how politely pissed off I was about the pictures I produced.
I was never happy about any of the pictures, all I see in them are images from an inexperienced photographer who has a shitload to learn. But also...I see photos captured by an enthusiastic young photographer who's enjoying this photography experience; but I fear that enthusiasm has been hampered for the last time.


FUCK YOU ASSHOLE

Don't let any stupid freaking tools get in the way of a passion of yours! You can stick it to them even more by just keep on truckin' despite them putting you down.

Never seek the approval of fools unless you're prepared to excavate the diamond from the shit. And there must be some positive hidden beneath what Pete spewed forth or else you wouldn't have risked insult. Find it, use it, become better for it. That's your best revenge. You're talented, Jon. Don't allow another's contempt to hamper your learning process.

Honestly Mate, I think your work is phenomenal at worst. You shouldn't let some old codger mess up your momentum. Just take it in stride, have some Chocolate Milk, and go back to work.

Hell, I'd even help you out. It's all in the goodness, yea?

Hope you are well Mate!!
