Forum Member Recognized for His Deployment Photos

Most everyone that has been on the Pentax Forums is familiar with the photos and videos of member Heie, but thought it was cool that he was featured on PetaPixel with a link back to PF.

That's great - a nice tribute to Heie and all his work.

It is also nice that the article contains a link to all his pics with the commentary here on PF.

Like. Good going Heie. I just hope that this and all your future works are your saving graces for the trouble you've been through both on deployment and back home.

Very nice article. Good feature of Heie's work. Too bad about some of the folks commenting being such jerks.

Well done! Lol if only the commenters saw you holding your gun and two camera bodies they would get a sense of your commitment. Easy to throw stone from your comfy armchair I guess and who cares if it says DSLR in the title-I bet no one would say a word if Canon was in the title!

Thank you everyone for the incredible support! Doc, appreciate going to bat for me amongst the comments, and any others of you if you used a name I did not recognize. I just know Doc was quite diligent in his defense, and for that I am very appreciative.

Behind that - I actually am the one that contacted PetaPixel to see if they would be interested in featuring the year in review now that it was complete and I felt it was deserving of being there It wasn't until after that I remembered that they might not know who I was, yet they featured me before without me having *anything* to do with forwarding my work to them, which I had wished in retrospect to have included the weather sealing video to help them draw the connection. It wasn't until I saw the site did I realize they went the extra mile and not only featured the video, but also the handheld stability guide of which I had completely forgotten about.

And then, when I thought today couldn't get any better, I receive a pm from Adam with the following message attached:

QuoteQuote:
Hi Adam,

I work with CBS News and am trying to get in touch with one of your regular contributors, user name Heie, about featuring his photographs. I have tried to send him a direct message, but am unable to because I have not posted to the forum.
Is there another way I can get in touch?

Thank you,
CBS News
I just got off the phone with her and she is sending me an email with all the details. Out of curiosity I asked how she became aware of me and my photographs and it was her supervisor that caught wind of my work ala PetaPixel, and then after coming to PF to visit the Year in Review, told her to get a hold of me.



Today is a great day.

Again, THANK YOU!

-Heie
