Friends of Lloyd


I'm with Lloyd Dobler (Say Anything, 1989) when he said, "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.  I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought or processed.  You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."  

Call me an idealist.  It's true.  I'm not slick or tricky or pushy.  I don't want to sell anyone on anything.  It's not in my nature.  If you don't already know you want it, I don't want to convince you that you do.  I prefer to make myself available to those who already know that they want my services, and that what I have to offer is as valuable to them as it is to me.  It's a slower process, but more integral to who I am.  I can't see running my business any other way.  So, yes!  I want to you to buy my services and my images; I want to make a living doing what I love.  I just don't want to have to sell you on it.
