Controversial?
 

My class got commissioned* by the MET police to create some work of the borough to put inside their jail to 'brighten it up'.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I didn't turn up to the pitch because I don't fancy my work being put up inside a prison to be looked at by criminals - what would i get out of that?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now my classmate is mad at me because he thinks i should be 'greatful' that i'm being commissioned* to show my work. My responce was that THEY [the MET] should be greatful to us because [and here in lyes the reason behind the asterix] they're not actually paying us, they're bumming free work off of students and paying a few bob towards any materials we might need should we run out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Am I being a pretentious and up myself or do i have a valid point? I feel pretty **** now because he's making me feel like an outcast but I don't know who else turned up and I'm just worried that I've ****ed up, professionally n it might affect my credentials...? <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" /><img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" /><img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" /><img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/blueface.gif" border="0" alt="" title="sad" smilieid="108" class="inlineimg" /></p>
