Hi you'll,

I hope my STF friends will forgive for repeating this NYC story. Right before I moved to Florida I got off the subway after a shoot with Andy. I passed this dude who was sitting in a wheelchair. As soon as he noticed my camera gear he jumped up, ran over to me and introduced himself as Mr. Photo. We started to talking and it turned out that he was president of his own photography club. he was also its only member. He wasn't doing much with it since he didn't own a camera. I lent him my 717 and he had a time running around the platform taking pics of young ladies and having them pose for him.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hi You'll??
    Cool story. Are you making fun of those of us that actually were raised sayin' "Y'all"? I sure hope not, since you are now a transplant into my homestate! I am a Native Floridian. Guess that kinda makes me a "Redneck Woman" of sorts. Hope you love Florida as much as I do!

    Your story made me laugh! :D

    Hiya Gator,

    I haven't met anyone yet who were raised in Florida, you will be my first. I used to say "Hi You ALL" but was chided about it. I am loving Florida.

    I'm glad my little story gave you a smile.

    Harry,


    Do you have any of the shots that he took with your 717? Was he any good? Did you give him a copy of the pics that he took? In other words whats the other half of this story.....

    Hey Tim,

    Well Mr. Photo took all these pics of these young ladies. Suddenly they became uncomfortable with the idea of this crazy guy (some folks might call Mr. Photo crazy) having their pics. Mr. Photo refused to delete their pics, they became upset, one of their boyfriends said something about smashing a camera, I became concerned, I took the 717 back and deleted the shots for the young laides, Mr Photo became upset. In the end peace prevailed and Mr. Photo promised to call me for the next meeting of his photography club. The call never came. Only one photo remains and I let you judge its merits

    You have to consider his model. He was working under a handicap.
