Default I have no hair left but I pulled it off!
I get a phone call from a company in Oregon who are putting together phone books for the region. They needed 10 photos for 3 different regions to go on the cover of each book and asked me to put together several for them to choose from and pick one for each cover. So, of course I asked what they were looking for, what type of photos were they wanting? The gentleman says we trust you to pick the right ones.I went "Oh my God" how am I gonna pick photos?

Ugh, the next sentence from the guy was, can you have them on a cd and to us by the 14th? I panicked of course. 2 days shipping left me with a day to get a bunch of shots together.

Thank goodness I have an extensive inventory of photos from not just our region but the country and managed to put together a nice portfolio for them to choose from and got it shipped off this morning! The other fun part was writing up a description of each photo. Was up for a good portion of the night and then finished it off this morning!

To me that sounds like one of those requests where one says "You want WHAT! Are you KIDDING" However, well done you got it done. Hope they like them. (I,m sure they will)

Well, I hope it was worth it to be bald for the rest of your life!

Sounds like a good opportunity. Glad you were able to pull it all together!
