It was my first week in the city and I was walking to B&H Photo Video Store, my playground, when a man stopped me to ask about the shoulder rig I was carrying. He had been the third person that day to stop and ask me about it so I had my speech pretty well perfected at this point. After a short conversation I gave him my card and we went on our separate ways.

I now work for that man, his friend, and several of their contacts shooting freelance video with that very rig.
