Say Formaggio!
Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
While most lines have gone full bore into the digital age Holland America is one of the last cruise lines that still puts out actual prints for you to purchase onboard.
The photography company (separate from Holland America) has several photographers on board whose job it is to find you at the most inopportune times (so it seems) and catch you in a shot.
Now some photographers might think would be a dream job, sailing the world and snapping shots of happy people but I say Nay Nay. These folks have to use company equipment to take shots proscribed by the company with no variations of any kind to the settings, basically making them button pushers.
I don't know for sure but I would imagine there's a quota you need to fill as well as sales quotas in the photography gallery shop. Were I younger I might consider it but I'm definitely not younger anymore. For anyone who might be interested:
