Hilarious Email Arrived
Just before quitting time last night, my email went "PING."
It was from Myron Akana, a dude from Hawaii, who spends lots of weeks in Okinawa.
Subject: This One's for You !
Right away, I emailed him back, asking for permission, to use this photo and his text.
He replied, almost instantly and, saved me a buncha writing tonight.
Text of the Email
Haisai Mike!
I
shot a photo yesterday that reminded me so much of you. Rob "Okinawa
Soba" Oeschle told me he learned a lot from you. And I did too. You
taught me that good professional photographers shop for their equipment
at...Home Depot.
Cheers!
Myron
Caption for the Photo
Ahhh,
one of my sisters in the craft of photography! You can always tell the
pros by (1) their multiple expensive and sophisticated cameras, (2)
their multiple, sophisticated and BIG lenses, (3) their fancy flash
attachments, even in bright sunlight, (4) their casual yet functional
attire, complete with floppy hat and folding brim, (5) their huge gadget
bags full of essential gear, and (6) their reckless courage to take
whatever chances are necessary to get the perfect shot, such as standing
on the top of a flimsy aluminum ladder...without any other signs of
support. She makes me proud to be a professional photographer! LOL.
Photographers...we stand out above the crowd!
Closing Comments
The ladder would be more comfortable, is she wore flip-flops.
The story of how Myron and, I met in person is here.
Flicker has more of Myron's and Okinawa Soba's photography.
