Better Than Money ??




I say that to only express the feeling I get when I present a client with their photos and they look at me like I’m a magician. After a few moments of looking with approval, the standard next question is ….”How did you do that?’
The feeling that comes over me is better than money…..which is fine because I have already been paid for the work! That is why I donate my time to the Alzheimer’s Association; I was asked a few years back if I would shoot the Blondes vs. Brunettes for Alzheimer’s awareness and gladly accepted. Although I felt I did a great job capturing the game one of those moments came when I photographed a family in the stands. About 2 weeks later I was rushed by this woman saying there he is and she gave me a huge hug and told that she could not thank me enough for the photo. She explained her grandfather had Alzheimer’s and that he normally didn’t remember a lot of things but had seen that photo on the ALZ website and told I remember that game……………………….that was a better than money feeling!
