Parsons Photography of Wenatchee Sucks
Dear Parsons Photography of Wenatchee:
In a world where I can (almost literally) get an 8GB SD card out of a box of Fruit Loops (which would more than handle over 400 RAW format Nikon images at 10 megapixels), I find it appalling that your short-sighted business model would prevent you from taking individual pictures of any and all students regardless if the precious envelope was turned in or not.
ON THE DAY that pictures were taken, I turned in the envelope to your studio—on Mission street. My daughter is in a split family, and sometimes signals get crossed, kids forget envelopes, and believe it or not, parents aren’t able to leave work and grab the envelope off the counter and get it to school on picture day.
I realize that your business is in a HUGE disadvantage in today’s day and age of digital photography. That somehow you still hold iron reigns around school districts, sports teams, etc. I’m not sure how this happens aside from the fact that I’m sure you strong-arm and offer half-ass Photoshop “re-touching” as some sort of benefit into the finished product (by the way, I can color-correct, zit-correct, whiten teeth, tan, and otherwise post-process the SHIT out of photographs, too). For some reason, schools think you are the only shop in town when I can find fourteen-year-old kids that can take the same-quality (if not better) pictures than any member of your antiquated team.
In the future, take the damn picture of all the kids. Keep it around in case the families either forgot to turn in the envelope, found it between couch cushions too late, or simply weren’t aware that pictures were coming (in the event the split family has some sort of communication problem). It costs you literally NOTHING to do this. Instead, you’re giving me a refund of the ENTIRE package after you’ve actually spent REAL money printing it up for me.
I’m not paying for a half-ass job. It was fine when, in 1988, real film was the only way to make it happen; but today, anyone… and I really mean ANYONE has the wherewithal to take a BETTER picture than the “staff” you have working for you today.
Just so you know, I’ll get the team picture, scan it, and have it. I’m just not going to pay YOU for it. 😉
You want to rag on a small town photography company because you make shitty music and because you are an asshole. If you put half as much effort into your music as you do in to ragging on the quality of the pictures you might, just MIGHT have a fucking beat that doesn’t sound like it was made in an 8 by 8 closet that was turned into some pencil dick’s “recording studio”!!!
Fag!
Hi, Dick…
Can I call you Dick? Thank you for your well-rounded articulate comment. It made me laugh. Funnily enough you’re right. A LOT of the old music was indeed recorded in a closet not much larger than 8 by 8 (we’ll say feet since you failed to provide a unit of measurement). Back in 1988 through about 1994, several years before you were born apparently, we didn’t have really good equipment. That music makes me chuckle, too.
By the way, way to bring back the word “fag.” Haven’t heard it used in a long time. I do appreciate your interest in my site and music. Please feel free to puruse the currently-released catalog. I wait with anticipation more comments!
Wow! I must have rustled your jimmies with that original post of mine? Lets call a spade a spade here rubber neck…. Your music is some of the worst shit I’ve ever heard. To think you want to blame it on the fact that “we didn’t really have good equipment” is absurd. You’re trying to turn a piece of shit into a shit sandwich so it’ll be digestible and it ain’t happening dude. Do yourself a favor and hang up the high hat and continue to be a mid 40’s guy who plays video games. Lastly, you should try not to walk around everyday all tucked up and inside yourself. Have a good day super Twink.
Not at all, Dick. I really enjoyed your comment. Not many people take the time to puruse my site as much as you have. This is some of the most action I’ve received. So, I’m actually trying to keep you here!
I’m not mid 40s. Not yet. But hey, let’s recap your vocabulary again because I love how you’re bringing back all the homophobic jargon, which I find hilarious. We have fag and now twink. I had to look up twink, to be honest.
I want to leave you with some selections you can listen to. Actually, get back to me on this because I’d like for you to contribute to Tolwyn.com not just in the comment section, but in the review section. I’d love it!

Write back or contact me. I appreiciate you coming back again and again as a budding critic. 🙂
[…] didn't want you to miss his comments. I've invited Dick to be a permanent commentary on music posted here at Tolwyn.com. I'm sure he's […]
I must apologize to you. The music links you posted are actually pretty good. It was actually life altering for me….. I really think its a blend of Mozart, Kenny G, and Christopher Cross all wrapped up into one. You must have spent a lot of time at band camp as an adolesent boy??
Please keep up the great work and I do apologize again.
Take care fuck face!!!
Oh my. You are absolute comedy gold. I’ll post some more.
