Today I ran up to Georgetown to meet with three professional photographers that have been working with me on a very special project. Above, from left to right, Jim Begley from Corbin, Ken- tucky (my home town also), Jim Haverstock, from Bloomington, Indiana, the pilgrim, and Chuck Summers, from Pikeville, Kentucky. It turns out Jim H. was attending a meeting in Covington,
\nKentucky which made all of us only a couple of hours away from each other so we agreed to have a planning meeting in Georgetown, where of course, Fava\u2019s happens to be. More on Fava\u2019s later.
\nWe had a great meeting in a coffee shop that used to be a bank, above we are seated in the best place to meet, the vault…..<\/p>\n
We had a great meeting and
\nno one had to drive an excess-
\nive distance. While we met
\nabout the project and talked
\nabout cameras and lenses, we
\nalso got a chance to shoot some
\ncool stuff in the coffee house.
\nI love the coffee mug to the
\nright, oh how true. Meeting
\nin a bank vault was a first for
\nme, certainly felt safe.<\/p>\n
The meeting was important
\nbusiness, but the fellowship was
\nall pleasure. I\u2019ve been working with these three men for some time and the work we are accomplishing has been wonderful, and the friendships have really deepened. Just in case you
\nare not aware of who these guys are, please let me tell you a little about each of them. Jim Begley is one of the top HDR photographers in America and a great teacher. He has worked with me on
\nseveral workshops in the past and will be involved in many more. Jim Haverstock is a former
\npolice detective, and now a very successful freelancer specializing in travel, nature landscape,
\nand Americana subject matter. It\u2019s good to have former law enforcement involved with a group like this! Not sure what the guy in the green shirt does? Chuck Summers in a very successful nature photographer with three books to his credit, his most resent, Kentucky, Unbridled Spirit, has been
\na very successful release.<\/p>\n
In spite of a serious meeting, we never let work stand in the way of great burger, and Fava\u2019s is the best in the east. Mine today was pushing really hard to top the 4.85 pickles it got during the NASCAR assignment a couple of weeks back. When there is work to be done, do it with friends,
\nand then enjoy life! On the way home Jim and I stopped by Murphy\u2019s Camera to talk about a future program they have requested. Keeping in touch with clients, and friends doesn\u2019t have to be boring. <\/p>\n
Thank you Lord for a job that let\u2019s me work with great folks, like these guys….<\/i><\/p>\n
Be blessed,<\/p>\n
