Hi Richard,
Hope this email finds you well. I have a photo connection that I wanted
to share with you! I just finished-up a 5 month stint in Bristol Bay,
Alaska where I was shooting more fishing community photos. I was
fortunate enough to find a boat ride leaving Naknek in Bristol Bay
heading to Homer with a commercial fisherman friend. The trip is
supposed to take 3 days, buts took us 7. It was a terrific adventure: 4
gill net boats, 16 people and 2 dogs. It took us much longer than
expected due to boat problems, terrible weather and lots of partying.
For 3 days all of the boats were docked at at the head of Illiamna Lake
due to poor weather. On the 2nd day I had major cabin fever decided to
take a hike and another guy in our fleet decided to come along. During
our hike he asked me about my photography and randomly asked me if I had
ever heard of you. Ironically enough, you have photographed him in
Hawaii. His named is Thor. He is now fishing salmon up in Alaska and was
part of my epic 2009 Alaska Adventure! Such a small world!
Best,
Jennifer
