Before we go back to photo talk, I wanted to spend a moment on something more important, Serving! \u00a0I joke a lot and even complain some about being in Golf prison, (working golf events), Football Prison, (you got it, working football events), and on and on, but really what ewe are doing is serving! \u00a0Yes it can get boring, yes you would rather be home, but these folks are really glad to have us get their sensors cleaned and loan them some gear they need. \u00a0Nikon Professional “SERVICE” \u00a0yep it’s right in our name! \u00a0It is a great feeling when someone says, “hey guys I’m so glad you’re here!”. \u00a0And the great thing is it happens all day!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now service doesn’t end at y our job, how about your spouse, your children, grandchildren, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ and perfect strangers, even imperfect one!!! \u00a0Everyday, we should be looking around us and asking the question, “who needs my help today?” \u00a0Serving God is not a part time job! \u00a0Often I here a Christian say, I wish I new how to serve God more effectively, it’s not as hard as you think!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope the photography sharing here helps and blesses you!<\/p>\n

O.K. Another night in the French Quarter. \u00a0Last night we went down an found the French Quarter was a mad house, we opted for a slightly quieter street just outside the Quarter. \u00a0We went to have dinner and then took in the Spotted Cat Jazz Club. \u00a0We had a great time! \u00a0Walking around this time with just the X10, I got some keepers, I’ll share them below!<\/p>\n
