Hi Barbara – I’m glad you remember the original story – it has been a while since I posted it. Thanks!

Hi Cath – Yeah, he can push the shutter and get a lot of shots in a split second on his camera. We were surprised because the guy wanted a white truck. Thanks.

Hi Dot – Yes, he forgot to mention the trick driving to get to a pull-off on the mountain side ahead of it. There was definitely flying gravel! Thank you.

Hi Jannie – I know! Wish we could make that rate daily 8 to 5, eh? Thank you.

Hi Goldensparks – Welcome, and thank you.

Hi Kathy – LOL we just had a laugh at your idea! Or I could use one of those vaudeville hooks LMAO! You’re right, though, Pete doesn’t think about being in potential harm’s way if a great shot presents itself. He got painfully close to a mama moose and her calf in Alaska, and stepped in front of 500 bikers barreling down the street at the Duluth Harley-fest a couple of years ago. There was a cop who was pretty testy about that. Great shots, though!

I wonder what Evil Kneivel's hourly rate figured out to be? I'm sure that in the moment, Pete was enthralled with the "thrill of the hunt" but I think in the future perhaps you should put one of those tether units they put on toddlers on him. That way, you can pull him out of traffic when he is pursuing the perfect shot- which if I remember has put him in harm's way MORE than once or twice!

Hi Betsy – That’s a brilliant story. I remember thinking he was rather daring taking that shot. I didn’t realised he’d photoshopped two pics.

Hi Bolaji – Welcome – nice to see you here! You’re right – the situation was more about being aware than anything. Or maybe it was the Law of Attraction. In any event, it paid for our rental car in Alaska – not bad! Thank you for stopping by.

Wow – great story!

You know – folks could read this and say: $350 for taking two photographs? I could do that!

Those people tend to look at the “cost” of the product. And not the value to the buyer. The buyer wanted something VERY specific. You and Pete put yourselves in a situation to take that photograph. Well done! Who knew…

Now – how can you get repeat business from that same client?
hmmm…
