The question that was posed to me this afternoon standing outside an abandoned building.
I was framing up my shot when I notice a woman walking past me, then a tap on my shoulder, the woman whom I had really paid no mind to had returned.
“Are you good with cameras?” she asked.
Obviously my D300 with grip and 17-55mm lens made some form of impression on her. She proceeded to say she was on her way to pickup a video camera “camcorder” and wanted to know if she was getting a good one then handed me a sheet of paper about said camera. I read over the specs while she said it was a gift for her husband for father’s day, and for video taping the grandkids and putting the videos online. She was getting it from Henry’s a name, that I trust (I explained that all of my equipment even the bag and film was from Henry’s). I handed her the paper back and said she was getting a good camera and was in excellent hands. She thanked me and left.
I proceeded into the building.

HURRAY!
I love it when aspects of your personality/character blend so wonderfully. It’s great that your love of photography meshed with your desire to help people out. You do both well!
