Another sonofsam thread.
 

Putting all the bad blood aside....

The reason that I initially started talking with this guy is because I saw a lot of drive and determination in him.

If more newbies showed the same kind of passion and hunger for success in this business then things would be grand.

As misguided as he may be at times, you can not dispute his dedication to learning this business. That part of him reminds me a lot of myself when i was getting started.

I respect him for that if nothing else. :2 cents:

Very cool of you to post this.

Respect.

can he use that content now? that would atleast be something.

:thumbsup

Well spoken Aaron.

Just drop that issue... :disgust

It's all good.

Then cut him a check.

Fuck no.


And fuck you.

No name calling or insults, not from me anyway. Stay on topic.

If he's admirable, do the right thing and cut a check.

if he makes final payment on that content can he use it?

He's got gumption, doesn't he! :)
heheh

Look troll. The right thing in business is not the same as giving somebody credit where credit is due. I did the right thing business wise and EVERY major player in this business who has discussed this with me one on one agrees with my decision. Who are you again?

For a guy who consistently says he wants to stay out of this, I find it ironic that you are always sticking your nose in the situation in favor of the other party.

Shut the fuck up, you are doing him and yourself no favors here.

What part of "fuck no" are you having problems comprehending?

Let it go, Brandon.

fuckin let it go, Aaron was paying him a little fortitude....
he wasnt offering reprieve....So STFU.....besides if SoS is the proud person he states....then he wouldnt accept the content or even offer to pay the remaining dividend.....so accept Aarons post as it is....A thumbs up to the little guy....reguardless of the pasts....stinky shit!
:2 cents: :thumbsup

And a rather large set of balls, at times.

Who started the thread?

I'm sorry, I'm confused...you started this sonofsam thread, I participated and now I'm a "troll" (LOL) and I'm "sticking my nose in".

You're looking for pats on the back here, and possibly some biz to move out of Donovan's place by seemingly making it right. Instead of words, try actions. Get D to loan you the cash, cut sonofsam a check, come back on the board and tell us about how you made it right and that the situation just got out of control, and that you're now open for new biz.

That's the play to make. Deeds, not words.

Exactly. :thumbsup

I think this thread has more value than a check. :2 cents:

You sir, are totally clueless.

Too funny.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I will be honest, I wasn't sure if Aaron's labeling you a troll was accurate or not. Thank you for clearing that up for me. :thumbsup

That may be, but it's still the play I would make myself in the similar situation. Eventually I'd just get to the point where I dreaded seing sos's name attached to mine and look at it as a loss (though in this case refunding his payment isn't a loss, because he doesn't have licenses anyway and no real work was done on this volume bulk buy. Correct me if I'm wrong there, if these were exclusive shoots or something that's entirely diff.)

The fact is that Donovan and Belinda invited me here to shoot local models. I've spent thousands of dollars here and made even more. My clients are happy, Donovan & Belinda are happy..as well as being compensated for their generosity, and the models are happy.

You however are nothing more than a troll who is blindly stabbing at the dark for insults because you can't handle the truth.

Now, kindly fuck off.

Good thread :thumbsup

B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S

can you say business boy n girls....

read the fine print

Perhaps, with all your trolling, you missed the part where sonofsam and I dropped the issue?

Furthermore, I no longer feel the need to explain myself to trolls like you.

Definately. :thumbsup

Donovan and Belinda's generosity aside, there are no insults here. Only reality. You want your business to grow, there is no doubt in my mind that it's been hampered by this negative publicity. I'm not going to provide more details about your current situation as it's none of the board's business. My intention was not to embarass you or flame you, but to offer a course of action that could free you from it. Have you actually being the hero instead of trying to just appear as one.

I won't post in this thread again, I've said my two cents and you've elected not to take the advice, as is your perrogative.

I thought so too...But leave it to a troll to fuck things up.



BTW, Mako....If all I am doing is looking for business then how come I rarely post in threads were people are asking for content? Why do I not include my contact info for people to reach me for business?


EVERYBODY KNOW THIS.........

My hands are full right now. I am NOT taking on any new content clients for any reason. PERIOD.

Dont you try talking fancy to us mister....

You don't know fuck all about my situation as you have clearly displayed in this thread.

Your insinuations are childish at best...Just like your trolling.

Way to go, to fuck a very kind and positive thread up... :disgust


GFY sometimes... :helpme

good post!

Sometimes giving hope is more cruel.

lol sorry Deej, I'll go to my room. :winkwink:

Aaron: As I said before, I'm done with this thread. I offered advice and you chose not to take it, which is your right. You can call this trolling, yada yada yada, you press the "T" button awfully fast, but at the end of the day if you remove your emotions from the incident and re-read the words, you'll see there's a path laid out before you to redemption.

Donovan: If you're a true friend, and I am positive you are considering what you've done the past month, then help him find the path. He'll listen to you more than me, that is certain. :)

How clueless are you exactly? :1orglaugh

Looks like you can't understand that friends / collegues invite you sometimes to stay and make use of the area / environment for business...

Has to be hard to have no friends that invite you sometimes :(

I feel for you man... :1orglaugh

Fuck you and your path. Your path has nothing to do with common business sense.

And don't be sticking Donovan in the middle of this. He's also a content provider and unlike you and many others here, he understands how to protect his content rights.

Now, get the fuck out of this thread already.....Troll.

Lets all get out of this thread, i think the point was stated and all is .... over.....or...is it

Tune in folks....next week....Same Aaron time, Same Aaron Channel....g,night folks

Donny and I have volunteered to let Aaron shoot some of our models. We are not paying the models HE shoots and we are not buying his food. He is NOT living here either. He is staying as our guest to help our models make more money for themselves. Some of you know that Donny has let other photographers stay at our place to shoot our girls and all of them have payed their own way and model fees. Aaron is no different. Having him here has been a great learning experience for both Donny and I and we can both say that Aaron is doing fine financially. He does not need Donny to cut him a check for anyone.

i think son of sam should bake you some cookies.

Exactly... just chill man. :stoned

Yet, here you are.

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla drama?

Says the guy using big red letters to make sure that he is seen.

Too funny. :1orglaugh

From here on....All comments posted by trolls will be ignored. :glugglug

gonna break another? :thumbsup

Not bad for a guy that was scammed and shorted 3600 bucks.

Son Of Sam is gonna be a great webmaster, at 19yrs he is kicking ass.

I am workin on 17k :thumbsup
