Happy Birthday
So I made it. Today was a very relaxing day in Las
Vegas. Ann and I had a great breakfast with my friend David Beckstead. Stay
tuned David and I are announcing our Bali Workshop and all the fun stuff that is
going to happen out there.
Since my email is down I wasn't expecting too many.
But, I wanted to share something that made my day. I know you all remember my
wonderful bride Monica who married Ashish in India. Well, she sent over a very
sweet email.
I am blessed in so many ways and to have befriended
many of my clients. This email is why I do what I do.
Hi Gene,
Just wanted to say Happy Birthday!!!! With WPPI
wrapping up today, I'm sure you'll party it up in style in Vegas tonight. I
would love to see some of your B-Day party pic's on your blog ;)
Since we've met I have taken a special interest in
your work not just because you're an amazing photographer but because you have a
deep passion for your work that is far stronger a force to be recon with
than all your technical talents put together. Every image and new destination
you visit produces pictures that take your work to a greater level and that can
only be achieved from being passionate about what you do.
There are very few people in life who do what they
love because fear stops them from taking that leap into the unknown and also
because of expectations society and family put on us. I'm grateful to know
one person who " Dare to be Different" and goes after what he wants in
life.
More than being a great photographer you're a great
inspiration to me. I look forward to watching your passion take you to
higher and higher heights!
Your friends for life,
Monica & Ashish
PS - Your site looks steller...well worth
the extra three month wait. And anytime Ashish misses me I tell
him to visit your blog and there I am in my red sari waiting for him with arms
wide open ;)
