Photogs needn't worry about giving away 20 years of hard-earned lessons in one meeting. The value they possess is 20 years of experience.<BR/><BR/>An experienced photog can walk on-site and do 18 shoots in 2 hours (http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/06/golf-digest-behind-scenes-shoot.html). They can spot and solve problems before they happen. They can deal with the un-expected while remaining confident.<BR/><BR/>Some things are earned, not learned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-23859953227296461072008-06-13T12:01:00.000-04:002008-06-13T12:01:00.000-04:00David, I really appreciate your willingness to sha...David, I really appreciate your willingness to share; it is encouraging, challenging, exciting and always helpful! I love reading what you have to offer and hope I can do the same at some point in my circle.

In that department too, (to me) you're also the best.<BR/><BR/>Over the years I've started to share some of my photographic influences with other photographers, I even got invited to Mexico's national photographer's convention as a speaker. I always highly recommend your materials and classes, teaching and sharing is very rewarding as it raises your standards, just like you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing so much with us David !!Mario Armand Herrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893960733539860679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-5356802609378224162008-06-12T15:51:00.000-04:002008-06-12T15:51:00.000-04:00Those who are willing to help others has one or bo...Those who are willing to help others has one or both characteristics:<BR/><BR/>1) Confidence - that he/she will even do it better in the future, regardless if others could do the same or not.<BR/><BR/>2) Compassion - since he/she already knew the pain of going through the learning curves, and more happy to help others to pass the pain-threshold so they can go beyond and enjoy more happiness. This is the sign of God-send people.<BR/><BR/>Amen and thanks God for your existence David,<BR/><BR/>SanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-5021906103152229132008-06-12T10:48:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:48:00.000-04:00David, thanks for helping make it a great evening ...David, thanks for helping make it a great evening the other night. Your presence brought such great, accomplished perspective to the conversation and really made the evening complete. <BR/><BR/>And how about that Ohio Valley Camera Club?
