I work for K*dak. We were featured Sunday night on the Celebrity Apprentice. Yay, Joan! I don’t take pictures for a living. I wish… wouldn’t that be fun? I’m a “Regional Trainer,” which can mean many different things on different days.
I love photographers! I love their work! I’m just not one of them and most people who know me would agree.
Funny story…
One night I was out with my friend, Dr. Mark. We were with a group of people, having a great time. Someone yelled, “Does anyone have a camera?” Of course, I did! I pulled my basic point-n-shoot out of my purse and snapped away. Dr. Mark pointed to me and yelled, “She’s a photographer.” Ha Ha. I’m really not.
A few months later I was at dinner with the same group of people. The majority of people at our dinner table were in medicine or law. I was talking with my friend, Carl. We both noticed everyone was talking “shop.” I didn’t say a word; Carl was silent. After a while Carl said to me, “Jill, I’m so glad you’re friends with us. We needed some fresh faces in this group. Everyone is a doctor, a nurse, or a lawyer. I’m in banking and you’re a photographer.”
Y’all, he really thinks that’s what I do for a living. I had corrected him before but not this time. I think it’s so funny.
This morning I got an email from my friend, Carrie. When I was in China last fall I took a really cool picture of Miss Gracie. Check out my sidebar for the only cool photo I've ever taken. Ha Ha. I didn’t plan for it to be a cool photo but it turned out really well. It was a complete accident. A magazine in China just used my photo in an ad for New Day Foster Home. So funny… I should send the ad to Carl and tell him I’ve been published. ;)
Cutie that I sponsor in China

That's so funny! I'm SOOOO not a photographer, either, but it sounds like it would be fun! Your picture of Gracie is very cute! :) Congrats on being published! ;)
That is funny that he thinks that's what you do - and now you have published a photograph, which is really neat!
That's hilarious. I love it! Wow, now I can refer to you as my photographer friend in Houston, LOL! Congrats on the lay out. I think that's super great!!!
I feel your pain. Our dinners consist of medicine, law, and banking also. I usually have nothing to contribute to the conversation. Once my hubby told a guy I race Go-Carts. I came back from the bathroom and I thought the guy was drunk. I had no idea what he was talking about. The entire table kept laughing and asking me odd questions about Go-Carts racing. I could have killed my husband. I think I would rather be a photographer than a Go-Cart racer, LOL!
how funny!! I would so love to be a photographer!
What a great career you have as a regional trainer, and working for Kodak. BTW, have you ever thought about taking up photograhy as a hobby anyway. I bet you would do great. Have a good night, and yes that was a funny story-if you think about it, I would say you are a photographer. I like that picture of Gracie.
I know you travel all of the time and I always wondered what you did. It all makes sense now! That is so great that your photo got published. It really is a sweet photo of Gracie!
SO cool that your photo of Gracie was published! You are now a 'famous' photographer ;)
your a photographer :) just in your own way! I'm kinda the same way. I love taking pictures but I don't think I'm great at it.
