I received this invite today... a nice surprise

All from my request for a reciprocal link...

"Hi Marc,

Please forgive the delay of my reply…we have been moving our offices and renovating, so I have been covered with dust and without a computer for a few days. I see you are a Pentax shooter.

We generally link... <snip> I have reviewed your website and would like for you to apply for Wimberley Professional Service membership.

I have attached an application, and guidelines and benefits of the program for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a good weekend."


So it looks like they want me on board... amongst photographers such as Moose Peterson, Art Morris, George Lepp, Mattias Klum, Art Wolfe, Frans Lanting, Len Rue, Jr., etc., etc. ... Companies they work with include Sigma, Canon, Nikon and National Geographic...
(all of this information is on Wimberley's membership application form)

BTW, some of the benefits are nice, and some are quite stellar!

Regards,
Marc

Tom and Pat: thank you both, and I am really pleased at this unsolicited offer to join their Professional Service membership.

Some major standouts are the truly special (extended) loan program & lifetime warranty on their products.

Cheers,
Marc

Congratulations

Marc - congratulations. There are surely many photographers around worthy of membership, but the invitation and recognition couldn't have been made to a nicer guy.

Thanks for all your help and encouragement - and for continuing to post here and comment thoughtfully when we ask our questions.

Thanks for sharing your joy with us.

Paul, thank you so much for the kind words! It's my honor to be a part of this community. I hope that my future endeavors will continue to allow me to be around on a regular basis, and yet enough will come up to keep me busy...

Thank you!

Thank you and your comment brings up something for me: when I saw the reference to Pentax, my curiosity and interest piqued quickly, wondering what the rest meant. Obviously the results, the photographer's involvement in education/workshops, publishing, etc. are what matters to them and that is a good thing.
