I'm not trying to bust your balls Issac. I am telling you the truth and I NEVER would have said something like that because it is not my way BUT you need to think twice about what you (CLAIM) someone says and also to pay attention to what context it was said. .
In the process of taking pictures and writing about various people, of course we know that some people are there and just tolerate photographers, writers, etc... and then there are some who actually become friends, talk about other things, their feelings, etc. We meet a lot of people. We are not stupid in knowing, the same like you know Jim about people. How many really food friends do people have out there? But then there are a lot of others who people do talk to, at different times.
However, Amanda was different. You don't know that Jim, but she was. Her friends are hurting, her family are hurting, and the situation and other events in the past are there, but not to be discussed out in the open. You should know we try not to do that.
