For the record, I run my own photographic imaging business which covers
photo, graphic and web work. I wouldn't be doing it if I was not worthy
of it, that's not how the digital imaging and design sector works, which
clearly you have no understanding of, to make the assumption you
have/do.

Anyway... it's your call mate and it's your loss, not mine. Like I said,
I have plenty of other work...

Hope it works out for you mate.

Regards
