So..
It all started 9 years ago when my wife at the time my girlfriend asked me if i would do her a favor.
Her cousin had died in a car accident and worked as a pro at the local golf course. In his honor her family wanted to do a "Mark and Friends Golf Game" and i was asked if i would help out and photograph.
At the time i really did not know much but so i grabbed my trusty Kodak i believe it was and hit the course and shot all i could.. got 4somes, just some fun stuff.. most of it was unusable :D But i was fun..
I have progressed into SLR and been shooting the same event every year for the last 8 years to the point this year i had to have a friend help me out as it was just too much for one person.
SO the reason for the post.
About a month ago i heard that one of the gentlemen who has played every year for the last 8 years with his 3 sons passed away. Golf was the one thing he loved and being friends with one of his sons it was said that the family was really upset because they did not have any pictures of him. Having a busy schedule and not spending much time with the family they did not seem to have much to remember him by.
After hearing this i got on my computer and started going through my files.. Yes i have images dating back to 1998 :D So i went through all my "Mark and Friends" folders and files and found about 60 pictures with him in it.. Everything from his foursome shots from every year to just standing at the bar talking with friends at the Dinner Dance after the game.
Well i took all 60 shots had 4x6's printed and put them into an album and dropped them off to the family last week! Well i have never gotten soo many hugs and kissing by sooo many freaking people in one day! And i gotta tell you it made me feel SOOO dam good!
Just wanted to share, as you just never know when you might wish you kept some images that you decided where no longer needed!
