Courier Adventures
I know today's post is a little late, but I promise you I did not forget about my post! I was actually taking dozens of pictures tonight. 80 to be exact. Sometimes I feel like I don't take enough pictures and wind up with a plethora of pictures. Tonight I was assigned to take pictures at a chamber of commerce banquet in Houma for The Courier, a paper that I do a bit of stringing/freelance photography for. The paper always takes me on interesting adventures and I always have a story to tell. At some of the events I get to see head officials of the city, state, and sometimes the country. I get to take pictures of prominent people and most of the time I'm behind the scenes. I've come to recognize who different people are and people recognize me and smile now, or maybe it's just the camera? For banquets in town, I'm usually assigned to just take pictures before the event starts of people mingling and then people sitting at their tables, then I leave so I can go home to upload the pictures that usually just end up on an online album. Tonight was different though. The company that I work for was there and I got to mingle with some of my coworkers, they invited me to sit at their table and I got to stay the duration of the banquet. I got to listen to these prominent business people and officials talk.
The key note speaker for the night was Capt. Richard Phillips, whose ship was captured by Somali Pirates and also had a movie made about him with Tom Hanks. He was very interesting to listen to and a very practical man with some great insight and wisdom. After hearing a story like that it makes you reevaluate your life and realize how lucky you are to simply be alive and in a country such as America. If you do get a chance you should watch the movie Captain Phillips and read his book A Captain's Duty by Richard Phillips.
