I’ve been showing my book to ad agencies and magazines for years now and most everyone has been nothing short of gracious and hospitable. It’s one of my favorite parts of being a photographer.

I traveled to Atlanta recently to visit and meet with a few agencies. Met a bunch of wonderful art buyers, art directors, and designers that were very receptive to my visit and my work. I’m so grateful to each and every one of them for making the time.

One agency, however, went a little further in welcoming me to their offices. Sitting on the receptionist’s desk was this sign:

Made me feel like a VIP. Very nice touch. (Thanks Chris.)
