Although we didn't arrive on the last banana boat and are careful to add "eh" after every sentence, some events in life just serve to remind us that we didn't grow up in Canada. In fact we often smile and tell other Canadians that living here is like coming in half way through a movie. We know the story line from when ...we joined, but every day a little bit of the plot is revealed.
This works fine if nobody leaves the movie before we arrive. I believe this is the reason it took a bit of time and discussion to realise that on Tuesday morning we were comissioned to photograph a Canadian legend, Roberto Alomar.
Of course we had put in the usual 200% into the planning and preparation of the shots which we had discussed with the client (KR3, one of Canada's top baseball bat manufacturers) in detail beforehand and we had dozens of great ideas with a limited time to try the best of them.
As you may know, we are no strangers to photographing celebrities and are blessed to have never dealt with the difficult ones. Robbie was no exception. His willingness to help in the shoot and even try his own ideas made it a dream gig. A real professional. He even made time to sign autographs and be photographed with us after the shoot.
Robbie tells us that he is to be inducted into the baseball hall of fame this year. We wish him every success.
