Hi, Greg,
It's good to meet you, and add you to my network. Odd how these connections work -- I used to live in the Valley (Granada Hills), and my wife actually worked at Sanyo Fisher until we moved out here. I'm currently freelancing myself and not currently using photographers (although that can always change with the next project down the road), but let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
Hi Greg,
In a past life with Tony Stone Images, now Getty One, I had the opportunity to see beautiful work. After viewing your portfolio, I felt like I was right back there. Great work.
I've written for various Curtco pubs: Robb Report, Robb Report Collection, Luxury Resorts, Showboats, Exquisite Weddings. haven't worked with Robert Ross though...
Hi, Greg. Thanks for the contact. Oser-Bentley Custom Publishers just opened our doors for business on March 3rd of this year. Needless to say it's exciting times in our Dallas office. Always good to have another source for great photography - we never know what our clients might need next!
