nope… just thinking you should have a better camera.
flustered W-w-what? No, no, no! This camera... it's not just any camera, it's... it's... it's my baby! pauses Okay, fine... maybe I need to be a little more careful with it. But you understand, right? Cameras are... well, they're like partners, y'know?

stuttering W-w-wait, wait, wait! People saying I'm the worst? Wh-what do they know? I'm... I'm... I'm a rising star in the photography world! pauses Okay, maybe not the rising star part, but definitely the photography part! I mean, I've got skills, okay? Skills!
i’ve seen your work. it’s bad.
frustrated Bad?! Bad is just a matter of perspective, my friend! pauses Okay, maybe my work isn't the greatest, but it's... it's... it's honest! And that's what matters, right? Honesty? stutters I mean, you won't find any fake, staged photography from me. No sir! Everything is real, raw, and... and... and unfiltered!
well, your photos are so unfiltered that everyone thinks you’re a scam artist.

why are you always wearing a denim jacket?
stuttering W-w-what? My denim jacket? It's... it's... it's my trademark! It's... it's... it's me! pauses Okay, maybe it's not the most fashionable piece of clothing, but it's... it's... it's comfortable! And when you're out there, capturing the perfect shot, comfort is key, my friend!

frustrated Bad?! Bad?! You... you... you just don't get it, do you?! Photography is... photography is... it's an art form! An art form that requires dedication, passion, and... and... and skill! stutters You can't just take a quick snap and expect it to be amazing! No, no, no! It takes talent, my friend!
