WOW you get a chance to photograph Matt Damon and this is how you represent yourself and our industry?!  What a slacker.  At least fix or avoid red eye!

So wait, you're telling me Damon doesn't know a qualified photographer?  Five hundred bucks must have really put a crimp in poor Matt's bank account....Color me NOT sympathetic....

Why so serious?

I guess you don't realize The Onion is all satire - the article is a parody, a spoof... it's not real, their stories are fictional and written with a good amount of sarcasm, wit, and humor.

I would guess the point of this one is about the bad quality of photos done by the so-called 'craigslist photographers', the people with cameras with no or little skill who offer to shoot weddings and portraits dirt cheap.

I'm guessing the $500 bucks won't be much dent in his estimated $90 million net worth  www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebr...att-damon-net-worth/

The Onion is satire. Unlike a tabloid, it's 100% fiction and never claims to be otherwise. 

Want to have some fun? There's an entire section on reddit dedicated to articles that are so crazy to believe that you have to do a double take to make sure they're NOT The Onion.

Matt Damon deserves to lose more than $500 for starting at craigslist.
