The Canadian Connection or it's not what you know but who you know Can't Post

This email came in from Canada last week. The writer grew up next door to us in Central Africa. It's amazing what a small world this is:-

Brian and Wendy,

Greetings from Calgary. Hope all is well with you and your clan.

Could you please let me have Howard’s e mail address as a neighbour of mine is trying to find a photographer who might be able to do some work for him in your part of the world? I would like to be able to put him in contact with Howard to see if either it is the type of work he does or if he could suggest other contacts.

Thanks very much.

Richard



Hi Richard Wendy forwarded your email. If you would like to visit the Links page of our web site http://www.capevideos.com/cv7.htm you will find contact details for a number of wedding photographers. Some of them also undertake commercial work. I know that Nina Challis does. She has a very high reputation. We have known her for about 10 years and have worked together on a number of occasions. http://www.mcmedia.co.za/ Kindest regards Howard

Hi - thanks so much for the referral to the Canadian guy - heard from him today - a very interesting project, just up my street like back in the days when I was still freelancing for magazines and travelling around Africa - and if it comes about I owe you big time!!! I think I need to take Sam out for lunch, tell her to call me when she is next in the area and we will go to Peddlars for lunch (and a glass of wine of course...) Nina Challis

Amazing. Wonderful. Small world indeed.

I just returned from my watering hole and met a couiple girls from Pheonix Arizona, one of which hung around with my Dad at the drag races (Dad dragged cars in his youth). Such a small planet we live on!

That's very interesting, Darren. I don't know why, but the Jim Croce song popped into my head, "Rapid Boy (The Stock Car Boy). Yes, stock cars and drag racing are two different disciplines but they do involve modified vehicles and a certain daring do.
