LOL.. When joe has big projects he brings me in on video and stills, but i was very busy with studio construction and playing shoot catchup with my own projects and clients. As a result of me not being available joe tried out other shooters with good reps with unsatisfactory quality and quantity results.
I do know he was very pleased with Dean Captures work and not pleased with the other guys he hired.
As far as any and all of the work I have ever done for joe, I have met or exceeded his expectations. I am the guy that will pay you back money if you are not happy with my work. And i have done that in the past when i misinterpreted unclear direction and my client wasn't happy. (Joe AMA long time ago) lol I see it as just money and the money is never worth my solid reputation.
Now as far as u making pot shots at Joe's skills as a photographer and a videographer, he really is on par with the top guys. I showed him a lot of my lighting schemes and photo and video tricks. As he has taught me a lot about a lot. When he hires people to shoot for him its because he make more on the phone selling than shooting.
The reason i dont post that much is because my work quality is high and i am shooting 25-35 times a month.
And thank you Joe for letting me hone my skills on your projects and when i ventured out on my own, you treated me as a close friend and not as competition.
Much respect to you and your skills please show the same respect to my friends.
