Hey everybody,<br /><br />If you've emailed me... EVER... you know that I always email you right back. As a matter of fact, communicating with people is my number one favorite thing on Earth. Number ONE.<br /><br />A couple days last month, I noticed something funky... my number of emails went down by about half. "That's okay... maybe everybody is busy" I thought. But then I noticed a couple specific oddities that were too bizarre to be true. Without going through all the details, let me just say that my benfieldphotography.com went all WACKO! What the crap?<br /><br />In my brain all I could think was...<br />"Dear God, what is going on????"<br />"How many people have I not responded to???"<br />"Who might be trying to contact me RIGHT NOW???"<br /><br />It was not fun. <br /><br />Anyway, all is resolved now and has been for awhile. You can contact me all the normal ways.<br />If I missed a chance to chat with you... Sorry! I've protected against that happening in the future. <br /><br />That being said, I'm speaking at WPPI in Vegas and the reception here is SUPER spotty. If you've called or texted and haven't heard back from me, email me and I'll return it asap.<br /><br />Talk to you soon, (that line has a whole new meaning)<br />Dale

Snow Day = Better As A Child

Hey everybody!<br /><br />This morning I woke up to this (iPhone instagram photo):<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8RDq3P0Xa6T8eHc-E0kZP9IF_17lrfY5LOf78nVQCu-_7MqmHZ7rzHqER_QDHJw5x6A_TjPKDUQ8oWwM28_zgafHnAa2AeBdpJohXfu-UG2B-7tqihbzYPeWcbcGMbOZABZvB6jfjXJg/s1600/snow.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8RDq3P0Xa6T8eHc-E0kZP9IF_17lrfY5LOf78nVQCu-_7MqmHZ7rzHqER_QDHJw5x6A_TjPKDUQ8oWwM28_zgafHnAa2AeBdpJohXfu-UG2B-7tqihbzYPeWcbcGMbOZABZvB6jfjXJg/s320/snow.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />As a child, I would have immediately been filled with the hope and wonder of day filled with possibility. <br /><br />As a teacher a few years ago, I would have immediately thrown a party in my head on my way back to bed as my reprieve set in.<br /><br />As a business owner, I cracked open a redbull, fired up the macbook pro, and edited 7 shoots (which took about 6 hours); furthermore, I did some planning on the Benny Awards and some on my upcoming Africa trip, and spent the rest of the day on email.<br /><br />If you think I'm complaining, I'm definitely not! I love my job so much that I rarely take a break. I was merely pointing out that snow days have a way different vibe at this stage in my life.<br /><br />I hope you had some excitement when you looked at the white world this morning!<br /><br />Talk to you soon,<br />Dale
