PS, Ben sorry you missed my shoot in Paris, you would have seen something you have not held yet. The umbrellas were up and very hard to miss.

Just one point here. I was never given an indication by "Wendy" about the location of the shoot she speaks of, therefore, I never could have witnessed it even if I wanted to.
So, what about the missing indication of location if it actually was Tuillerie Gardens? And has there been a 1 week long photographic event 2 weeks before?
When I invited Steve Jacob to my shoot in Paris, I called him, e-mailed him, sent sms's, gave him the time the address and how to get to the place. NO...Wendy only made this vague statement. Do you know how big the Tuilleries are? That would be akin to saying, "I'll be in Central Park next week, come and meet me. When? What time? Where in the Park? How can I meet someone I have never seen nor given the co-ordinates for that meeting.
Look. I am NOT going to be pushed in to a corner, where I have to defend my doubts about an individual who come out of the blue and says something as outlandish as, " I'll be at the Jardin des Tuilleries" without any explanation.
When I did my Press Conference and Photo Salon in Paris, I was given dates, times, explanations etc. No Wendy is being very effective at playing cat and mouse, to what end I don't know. Perhaps it is the game and not the outcome that she is enjoying. Maybe she is a total sociopath...But if she is working with Pentax, than they have most certainly changed their marketing approach radically, especially when it comes to "Buzz Marketing".
