Real Friendship
As 2009 comes to a close, I wanted to look back and see who took the time out of their busy schedules to meet up and do some photography with. As it turns out, 2009 was a big year on meet-ups and creating new friendships. Here’s a list of those I’ve met personally in the past year (or perhaps 16mo)
Eileen (shot her wedding in Ojai)
Jeff - flamboyant cycling nerd
Cameron - brother in law and brother in Christ
Mike - my father in law and spiritual mentor and so much more
John - soon to be personal CPA
Geoff - work buddy and former roommate in Philly
Ted - local landscape photographer extraordinaire
Steve - professional landscape photographer
Mike - he shoot Sony… which is almost like being Canadian
Hector - generosity flows from this guy
Kevin - professional minimalist
Steve - Nikon carney landscape portrait artist
Jeff - Can shoot anything
Michael - certainly an up and comer
Jill None of her stuff is Junk
Tracie - So much more than just a photographer
Doug - NO one went out of their way more to become a friend.
Corrie - huge supporter of her husband Doug
Wendell - Creator of Wink’s Place, and will show up at a moments notice to shoot
Brian - His stories are almost as good as his photos; and I still owe him a beer
Kristen - former 805’r, now living in the Midwest somewhere, I dunno
Mary - Her husband will eventually arrest me for speeding
Keith a dedicated family man who will someday own his own media agency
Nicole - nicest person you'll ever meet whose puppers I will steal someday
Amy - was nice enough to meet me and the boys at the park and take our picture
Tammy - a fighter and amazing photographer
Geoff - former student now traveling the world
Bobby - grew up across the street from me, and never knew it
Chris - very cool local guy who offered to let me use his truck to visit the Racetrack
Petra - wife of Chris who has an odd affection for trolls. Haha
Ben shot his headshots and all around good guy
Ted - co-worker and very passionate about landscape and wildlife photography
Marianne - co-worker and fellow nature lover
And there are MANY more who I’ve chatted with, asked questions, mentored, got location advice, or just talked shop with and I want you to know that I appreciate your friendship very much. I hope in 2010 if I’m able to help any of you out in any way it would be my privilege.
I’m going to be at Leo Carrillo State Beach this Sunday at about 3:30pm. Sunset is at 5pm and low tide will be at 4:43 so there will be some great sunset photo opportunities (as long as we get some clouds). If you’re in the area, want to meet up, shoot, etc, that’s where I’ll be. I look forward to meeting all you other cameraheads out there, or if not sometime in the new year.
