Took a little time to talk to a guy who had some questions about my gear. I ended up shooting two weekends of county fair rodeos and all the entertainers for the fair website. My photos have received thousands of hits and I\'ve had several run in last weeks news paper and more to run this week. (wallercountyfair.org if you\'re interested) I was also asked to help with starting a local youth photo and video education program and may get studio space out of the deal. Little did I know that I was talking to the president of the county economic development council, award winning software developer, past president of the local chamber of commerce, and owner of two creative based companies. It pays to talk to people and have a good attitude doing it. Something similar happened to me not long ago. Took a little time to talk to a guy who had some questions about my gear.

I hate when people do that to me... but I now I need to realize that anyone can be, or lead to a potential client. Great read and good point!

I think your choice of the word "ambassador" was right on the money. A good attitude toward strangers in the field can never hurt, whether it brings you work or not. Thanks for the article Daron.
