I think that it worked out well. I'm sorry that Shutters hassled us the way they did.... but in life you have to choose the best compromise.....justmestace said:DIS Group Photo
As long as I'm here, I thought this would be the easiest way for everyone to find out what happened with the group photos.
Before we even got on the ship, the photographer had to be arranged and paid. I helped a little, but mostly, everyone needs to thank Virgil for that!! (THANK YOU VIRGIL!)
After we took the pictures, the photographer told me that there would be a couple of copies in Shutters to look at, and that we would have to order reprints.
I was in Shutters with Mary and Mark, looking at the pics. They had already purchased the one with Cary looking forward.
We looked at them, there were three....one was immediately discarded as it didn't include David and his family. Here's where it got tricky:
There was one with Cary looking up, and one with him looking away. So sorry, Land and Sea Guy, but we hadn't met, and we didn't know who you were! But anyway, I honestly thought that Mary and Mark and I had agreed that the majority of the group looked better in the one where L&S Guy was looking away, so I thought that we decided to order copies of that one.
I went to the counter and asked the CM's how they wanted to handle this. They didn't give me a choice. I was told that we had to pick ONE picture to copy, and that they had to be paid for in advance. They also told me that I could not leave the rest of the pictures on the rack for everyone to look at....they took them from me. Except for the two that I bought to give to Cary (of him looking up). I really do not know the exact reason why Shutters wouldn't leave the pictures out for us to see. I can only guess that they maybe didn't want to hassle with taking more orders. I really don't know.
And I swear, I thought that we had agreed that one shot was better than the other, but I do apoligize if I got it wrong.
I will happily give back anyone's money that is not happy with the picture they received.
Stacey - Thanks for all that you did! Setting up the dining, the wine party... and doing the leg work on the picture.... It goes without saying - but I'll say it anyways - that all the work you put in definitely made our trip all the more enjoyable.....
