I need to clarify something about my role as Fujifilm ambassador for a stupid troll

Unfortunately, on the internet you can meet everything, and obviously even mentally disturbed people.

There is a guy questioning whether I was an ambassador for Fujifilm Mexico and despite today I am one of the persons pretty far from that brand, I don’t like such behaviour, especially if he continues to make comments.

I honestly find it ridiculous that a person would be stupid enough to question this fact.

Also because in the past I have achieved much more important things than being a brand ambassador for Fujifilm. In fact to work on assignment for Leica Camera AG is clearly a much more important result, where for just one job I was paid a whopping 10,000 Euros. And not all the photographers are called by Leica to make a work on assignment (that work was translated and published in the Leica X Catalog of 2013).

But evidently this person resents me and believes that being a Fujifilm ambassador is who knows what a great achievement. When it is not at all.

Putting it on a more relaxed level, I tell you that I am grateful to Fujifilm for supporting me on some trips (especially one done while working for an NGO) and that I wouldn't work with as many cameras as I did. I purchased few cameras from them obtaining some discount, but most were loan to me, for example, by being a not rich person do you believe that I could purchase the GFX? And no, they just lent it to me for a week and the result was just a shoot with one of my models:

And now I really hope the troll stops to say bullshits. Maybe he will be masturbating on this posr, I don’t know. But this is the last time I think to clarify about a fact. His little brain can’t realize on the internet by being removed from the program there are not anymore, but we can help him a little with some link:

MY WORK INTRODUCED AS X PHOTOGRAPHER FOR MEXICO DESCONOCIDO

And let me add:

- to be an x-ambassador is not a milestone in a photographer career;

- to work on assignment for Leica is;

- to receive 10.000 Euro for 1 assignment is;

- haters gonna hate and they bring me luck;

And so the troll is taken care of now…
