RXA » Quotes http://www.rxaonline.com/blog "I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand" - Lightning McQueen Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:03:01 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Humbled http://www.rxaonline.com/blog/2008/04/15/humbled/ http://www.rxaonline.com/blog/2008/04/15/humbled/#comments Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:59:28 +0000 rxa http://www.rxaonline.com/blog/?p=261 A testimonial from Shelton Muller. A fantastic photographer I have been working with.

This is going on my website and in my portfolios (just in time for the pitch tomorrow).

“Having Richard work with me as an assistant on my weddings has been an absolute joy. He is not only aware of the needs of the bride and groom from a photographic perspective, but he is also concerned with how they enjoy their day. He sees his role as more than just a person who takes photographs and as such clearly understands his importance to the couple. In that regard alone he is unique among his peers. His passion for the craft and his innate ability to take photographs speaks for itself.”

Referring to our “pretend instrument orchestra” – “Daddy is going to play the Hobo”

It’s raining!”

Me – Not yet awake “Huh?”

Matthew – “Dad … wake up! It’s raining!”

Me – Still not yet awake “Huh?”

Matthew – “What part of raining don’t you understand???”

Once again … he is 5.

I saw this quote and thought it was nice.

Time for someone to come and remove my testicles I feel.

Quote of the weekend:

“I love our regiment … where else in the army could you say ‘What ever floats your boat sir’ to a colonel and get a way with it?” – Me.

Frustration of the weekend:

‘Birdland’ is not an appropriate tune to open a mess dinner with.

There you have it.

It was (and still is) a beautiful day so we sat in the rear courtyard and chatted as people one by one took the remaining chairs at our table.

Sushi was on the menu for L whilst I had a vegetarian quiche which quite frankly would have been better if it had some ham in it.

After lunch I returned to some photos I’ve been working on.

Quote from lunch:

R – “Do you want a slerf (meaning to say slurp)? … what the hell is a slerf?”

L – “It’s a combination of a slurp and a smurf, it’s a small slurp, and it’s blue!”

You’ve got to admire a thought process like that … and the impressive speed in which she answered.

Hope you are all having a good day/night and I’ll get back to you soon.

David was having trouble uploading a photo to his flickr account this morning and it kept on failing. David’s ideas and comments about this.

“Perhaps if I waggle the mouse it will load faster? Michael told me it would!”

“Perhaps flickr doesn’t like the photo?”

“Perhaps the photo has a bump in the middle that it gets to and stops?”

Oh dear.
