Last year I called the American Folk Festival office to see if they wanted a volunteer photographer, I wanted to help out but didn't feel like carrying ice and water all weekend, and somehow just ended up asking for press credentials instead. I was put through to the LOVELY and TALENTED (an occasional Gentle Viewer) Heather McCarthy who wanted to know what press I was with. So I mumbled a little and said I had this little website...the Thing of the Moment. And she said. "Oh, I KNOW THAT!" There was a pause as I waited for the dialtone. Which never came! As a lark, she gave me a media pass.
So when she wrote several weeks ago and said in effect "Time to pay up camera boy, we need some photos for our annual report." I was more than happy to oblige. (Because, after all, this is an American Folk Festival THIS YEAR, also.) and just asked if I could get a copy of the report and found this DELIGHTFUL little credit on these images and a few others.
I'm quite fond of The American Folk Festival and look forward to doing more with them in the future. (Given that it's one of the few local projects I haven't burned bridges with yet.)
HAVE I HEATHER???
Like I said last summer, burning that bridge can be arranged! :-) This year's credentials might just get lost in the shuffle! :-)
ReplyDeleteErm... Just ignore me... I never said that...
Pay no attention to the Murph behind the curtain.

ReplyDeleteemail me your addy and I'll snailmail you a completed flyer for future inclusion.
I've burned my bridges, but I'm waiting for Bangor's 'Big Dig' so I can get back.
ReplyDeleteYou have some really nice photos here.
ReplyDeleteExcept the Paul Bunyan statue always bemuses me. Everyone knows he was from Minnesota.
The blue ox, however, was a Bangor favorite son, some say closely related to the Baldacci family.
Hey, nice job "photo boy."
