Something isn't right ... he must have been either going through a moderate to severe depression or just psychologically going off a cliff.

I feel for him.
No no.

We left and he kept hitting me up to do it.We had no interest in dealing with him. I might have misspoke. What I was trying to say was I was watching this guy who was basically broke taking about how valuable his time was as a professional photographer and that he'd have his wife shoot it. What most don't know is that his wife actually shot a large part of the content he sold. He kept always giving examples "I pay a girl x, I shoot x sets, I sell then x times for x dollars - basically "I am not going to shoot anything for less than $4000 a day or something like that. And I am listening to him and you can plainly see he is broke and makes no money shooting at all. Remember, his business was dead soon after.

I was watching him get excited over a $10.00 sale.... But in the other thread, his defense in the end was "I just wasn't interested in doing business with you and that's why I can't remember you". Our agreement was $2600 per hole, would girls at a time. It wasn't too long after that he was begging for money on this forum.

I don't know his story exactly. I suspect that he got a few content orders in a short period of time and sold a bit online and was able to lease space he had. I think that about that same time, work for him completely dried up and he slowly coasted to a halt. But in his own mind (as he shoes on this forum), he thought he was a world champion photographer deserving $1000.00 plus per hour or something for his time.
