So it happened like this. At 7:28 PM on a Thursday I got an email from a photographer I had never heard of that started out "Hi Brooke". He said he was in town for just a couple of days and could I possibly meet him tomorrow to look at his portfolio. We get about 5 solicitations a day from photographers. I try to open every single one and sometimes I respond to them, if I have time. I have no idea what prompted me to click the link to his site, I was cooking dinner for my daughter and running the usual night time frenzied marathon. I didn't have a moment to spare the next day and I sure as shit wasn't meeting anyone on a weekend. But I clicked. About 5 minutes later I was on the phone.
Me: "Hi, this is Brooke. I got your email, can I take you out to the Ivy tomorrow for lunch?"
Fernando: "Um, ya, that would be great. What should I bring?"
Me: "Just your book. I can't wait."
When lunch was over we sat with his portfolio for a while and by the end we both had smiles on our faces. It was like getting married on the first date. Who does that???? Reps do, when they find someone that amazing. Take a look: http://www.decillisphoto.com
