Every photographer has heard many if not all of the comments portrayed in this video. Have a look and enjoyed the parody.
I couldn’t help laugh out loud because I have heard many of the comments.
So curiosity made me do a better search and I have another video of things people say to photographers.
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were leaving the subdivision when she said “I think that’s a coyote!” I quickly looked and sure enough it was crossing the road heading to the bayou. At first I was surprised and then a little concerned wondering if it was skulking around the neighborhood at night. We sometimes walk our dogs at night and I had thoughts of a standoff in the neighborhood. Us and the dogs vs. a coyote or coyotes. Who would win that fight?
Well I’m sad to report that the coyote was hit by a car last Friday night. As we were running errands on Christmas Eve, I noticed that the coyote was killed and lying at the front entrance to our neighborhood. Although I did have some concerns KNOWING that a coyote may have been finding dinner in our neighborhood, I was sad to see that a wild animal had been killed not by the normal predatory cycle of life process. I had never seen a coyote in person so I turned around to look and took a quick picture with my cell phone.
The injuries were not that bad but to avoid offending anyone, I put a few graphics over the boo boo spots on the coyote.

One thing that Amy asked when I got back into the car was whether the coyote was a female. I then realized that she was wondering if it was a mother and there were pups that had ben recently born. Thankfully, it was a male. It is a shame that a wild animal’s life was cut short but a far worse situation would have been if the coyote was a female and left newborn pups to fend for themselves.
Today we honor the men and women who serve in the military. I say “thank you” from the bottom of our hearts for your dedication and service to your country. Many of our military are separated from family and friends during their service to our country.
Because of your service to our country, I would like to offer a free portrait session to the families who have a member who is or has served in the Military. The session includes a free 8 x 10 print.
Here are the details: Contact us for a time to do an in-studio portrait of your family before he/she leaves. If already deployed, then let’s take a picture that you can send to your family member. We will provide you a digital file for emailing. Maybe you loved one is coming home for the holidays. Let’s plan a session while their home. You decide.
Remember, there is no cost for this service or no obligation to buy anything either. It’s just my way of saying thank you for all that you do.
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

PS - A little trivia for the curious. Veterans Day is actually the anniversary of what important event in history? For the answer, mouse over the word –> Answer or click to be sent to Wikipedia for the long answer.
While on vacation in Washington, DC, Amy and I met up with our good friend Eric and Nya, his Rhodesian Ridgeback, for a walk in the park. As I recall, it was a rather warm, balmy August day and Nya was the happiest of us on the walk.
The story actually starts at Eric’s house where Nya was pacing around looking out the front door window in anticipation of the pending walk. Once in the car, I would swear that she had a smile on her face as we drove to the park. Once there, she was almost uncontrollable to get out of the car and start sniffing around. There are so many smells that dogs can smell that humans cannot detect and she put that sniffer to work smelling all the other dogs who came before her that day.
We had great fun spending time with Eric and Nya. She even performed a trick out how she could balance food on the bridge of her nose and then when commanded flip it up and catch it in her mouth. Amy had a peanut butter sandwich in her bag. What dog passes up peanut butter! Easy peasy for her to show us the trick, although I suspect she missed on purpose a couple of times to get more of that sandwich!!

Thanksgiving. Family, food, and of course football. Nope. Not on the TV. The kind where you and your family team up against each other and enjoy an afternoon of fun in the backyard. Enjoy!
Yes. So 830 pictures later I put my camera away, left Jersey Village High School, and went home exhausted. A good four hours of taking picture in a darkened theater will do that to you. What was I doing you ask? I was taking pictures at the Mr. Falcon Contest, a boys beauty contest which is a major fund raiser for the senior class. This fund raiser is for their prom.
There were 26 contestants competing for the honor of being selected as Mr. Falcon. Only seniors are eligible for a nomination into the competition. I also took pictures for a calendar that was also part of the Mr Falcon contest.
So there you have it. Four hours of taking picture wrapped up into less than 10 minutes. Aren’t you glad you waited for the video? Oh, if you were there and are interested in purchasing a picture from the event, click on over here to my online store for a review of the pictures and you can have some for your very own.
Did you like the videos? If so, drop me a comment below and share the love. Tell your friends at school so they can enjoy it too.
