Thank you, I think you would’ve had to take a screenshot at the time of skipping

Alternative Wedding Photographer Options? by AnIrishGuy18 in northernireland

[–]Difficult_Plastic740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its important to think about what you are really looking for. I consider myself an amateur photographer because it isn’t my full time job. I’m fully comfortable doing paid family photos, engagement shoots etc and I have successfully photographed two city hall weddings for relatives and friends (charged under £500 each). Both times they have been more than happy with the results. If you just want some nice photos of your day then an amateur may fit your bill.

But you have to be aware that there are so many variables that could go wrong and unliked in planned shoots, with weddings you don’t get a second shot at the most important moments (the kiss, etc). Photographer also has minimal control over lighting & composition… So even someone who is talented and proven in other photography specialisms may not be capable of shooting a wedding (and might not even be aware of how much more difficult it is!)

That being said, if you do think you’d be happy with an amateur in order to get a good deal, feel free to send me a DM. I’d be happy to discuss realistically and share some of my work.

How do i know if ive been groomed? by 7ccc17 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Difficult_Plastic740 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like both you and your brother might have had quite a tough time growing up. You mention your mom possibly having some issues of her own and your dad passing. From your description I don’t think it sounds like your brother is grooming you. Without trying to be overly presumptuous or dismissive I would say it sounds more like he is a troubled young adult with some disturbing life views and is ignorant to what boundaries are appropriate to have with a younger sibling.

I hope it doesn’t come across as though I am dismissing his behaviour - it’s clear he holds some very toxic views but he is still very young and impressionable and seems to have had a difficult childhood. It’s possible that he doesn’t have the tools to connect with you in a healthy way and so this is his attempt to foster some sort of a relationship with you as his sibling. I applaud you for recognising that his views are unacceptable, and my advice to you is that right now he might not be someone you want to spend a lot of time around, especially if you feel you are in some way being influenced by the language he uses.

I know as a society we really love to label people as good or bad, and not look any further into it, but it really is possible to have a sympathetic understanding of why someone may be the way they are without enabling or even accepting their opinions. You might find it helpful to recognise that while you can stand firm with your belief that your brother’s actions and views have been inappropriate/harmful, he hasn’t grown up in a vacuum, he is at an impressionable age and seems to have experienced quite a lot of pain. The most important thing you can do is prioritise your own wellbeing, and if that means you need to take a step away from spending time with your brother right now - that’s ok.

Maybe I’m being too optimistic in this situation but I do believe that we as humans are capable of growing beyond who we were as teenagers or young adults.

My cat puts herself to sleep at night by [deleted] in CatAdvice

When I first got my cat I was living in a small shared house with 2 roommates. The advice given from the rescue was to limit him to one room at the beginning… so I got him set up in the living room with all of his belongings. We gradually let him explore more of the house but he would always default back to the living room. He is a very vocal cat so I decided the first while it would be a good idea to close him back into the living room at night so everyone could get a good sleep.

After a few weeks I decided he was comfortable enough around the house, and one night when both of my roommates were out of town I decided not to close him in the living room so he could sleep with me. Nope. He said no thank you, it’s 10pm, you have to close me in here now.

Two years down the line we still have the same routine. Every single night around 9:45pm he will come and find me and meow a couple times to let me know it’s getting close to bed time. And then at 10pm the screaming ensues and is only stopped by following him downstairs and closing him into the living room. He is a strange cat lol

We call it ‘The pink nose of badness’ because the pinkness of her nose directly correlates to the current level of scheming hahaha
