First photography job?
 

When was your first photography job? I was just thinking about this, it was 1973 for my 8th grade year book, had one of those 35mm camera that you looked down and had to carry a light meter.

I was editing a magazine and had all the models lined up and not enough good photogs. So I picked up the camera myself.

The first picture I sold and got published was for a fold out poster in a surfing magazine. It was from a model shoot and it showed her walking down to the waters edge in a swimsuit holding a surfboard.

A couple years later I took a surf trip to Huntington Beach and walked into a little connivence store just north of the pier to get some coffee and doughnuts before checking the waves. There was a super hot beach girl working the register and behind her on the wall was hanging my surfer girl poster.

While pointing I asked her " you like that picture " and she said " Yes, it's my favorite picture and I liked it so much I had to hang it at work " I said " thanks, I took it " That blew her mind. What happened next is the kind of stuff most men only get to dream about :winkwink:
