Go Boldly
Small Steps:
The Perfect Assistant
- Strong Back
- Witty Banter
- Valid Passport
Above is exactly what I wrote on the back of the business card today when I saw National Geographic Photographer, Steve McCurry for the second time, this time at an event for the Straits Times journalist staff that my dear, soon-to-be-wife, snuck me into. He was speaking about going boldly and taking chances in life to get what you want in life, so I did exactly that. He laughed at what I wrote and asked if I never get sick either, to which I replied “..of course not.”
I am sure a photographer of his stature has plenty of assistants to choose from, but I still feel pretty good that I had the confidence to offer my services to him. Who knows if I will ever get a call, but at least the chance now exists.
