You never know who you’ll meet while on a shoot
As mentioned in an earlier post, I had the good fortune of stumbling across a really great photographer while “on safari” in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a couple of weekends ago. Noticing that somebody else in the campground was driving a Toyota FJ just like mine – I stopped to say hi. A friendly chat ensued and lo and behold I meet Scott Allen (you can find him at photo.net here). Seems we had a lot more in common than a Toyota FJ of the same color. We shared some stories and Scott, being a Photoshop guru, gave me a few tips. I met his wonderful family (his daughter Sadie took the photo below with my Canon G10 – not bad, for a 10 year old, eh? … like father like daughter?). I’m sure that Scott and I will share some photo adventures in the future. All for just saying “hi” … and a real highlight to a weekend trip to the Smokies.
Scott Allen and Friends
That’s me on the right and my buddy Lee on the left. Yes, I went to the Coast Guard Academy — but I won’t tell you how long ago. (That’s Scott’s FJ in the background — what a fine machine — great for going to those places that landscape photographers love to go.)
Until next time.
