As the Facebook followers have seen, Ingram Images has been running a special for Valentine's Day. A way to offer a personal, intimate gift to a loved-one.

Apparently there are side-effects.

I made photographs for a woman Sunday afternoon for just such a gift, and we enjoyed a couple of hours making some amazing photographs. Unfortunately, I can't show them because like I said, they are personal and intimate.

Here's what she wrote me in a note afterwards:

"I don't think people understand. I was so nervous to have my pictures taken and ended up leaving there feeling like a total rock star!!! So, thank you!! For every time I have told someone about it, and they say, "oh, I could never do that", I tell them I thought I couldn't either and then I show them my photo, and they are awestruck. Your work is amazing and I think more people should know."

Awe shucks, now you're making me blush. LOL.
