Update: 17/July/2007: Just got another one, despite not having an account anymore.

Some time ago (before YouTube was acquired by Google) - I created a YouTube account so that I could access some video clips that weren’t available to the general public. 

About a month ago I started receiving weekly “newsletters” from YouTube, I didn’t update my account, and I didn’t request this. The first time I received it, I went through the steps to unsubscribe.  It didn’t help.

Have a look at the screen shot of my email account settings.

See? No options are set to ‘Email me this crap every week’. Yet I still get this spam from them.

I even went through their help/FAQ site - however it provides no assistance for unsubscribing.

So, now I’ve closed my account - here’s hoping THAT will stop them from spamming me.  I’m not holding out a whole lot of hope though.

Digital Photography School has this great list of tips for amateur wedding photographers - but I think the same list of tips goes for where there’s any other serious event. (eg: Engagements!)

FWIW: I really lucked out that day - almost all of the people were happy to pose for a few seconds to have their photo taken, so even though I was having issues with the flash (too bright/too dark), it worked out well.
