As we approach the Group of 10′s second anniversary I feel that it’s worth mentioning, briefly – promise
, just how far we have come as a group. It really goes without saying that each of us has progressed along our own individual paths; some of us have contributed to or published books, more than a few of us have answered a demand for public speaking and sharing our insights and experience with other photographers.
However I do have to say that, for me, probably the most important or precious thing about membership of the Group of 10 is the trust that we share. That may be somewhat intangible I grant you, however it is very real and of inestimable value. This value was recently demonstrated when I called a fellow member of our group and asked if he would be able to assist me at a wedding, at short notice I might add. Now the details of why I asked for assistance are almost irrelevant, what is relevant is that I knew, without any shadow of a doubt, that I could trust this photographer to; compliment my shooting style, treat my clients as I do, deliver great images and if the situation required, step-in and take over the shoot entirely.
On this occasion Steve Burns complimented my style, treated my clients as I do, and delivered a great set of images. Thank you Steve.
Thank you Group of 10.
The wedding was at the Glen Foerd Mansion in Philadelphia, Lauren & Mickey truly were a great couple to work with.
