abovo foto - Jackson scare

Filed under: thoughts, photography, personal, Internet — roar @ 10:49 pm

I was in the process of telling a friend why I though he might benefit from joining my LinkedIn network.

He runs a wedding photography business on the side of his day job, and I used the example that my contacts might be searching for a photographer.

That made me think that I already have two photographers in my LinkedIn contacts, and I decided to pass these web site addresses on to my friend.

I sent him to Kris Krug and Victor Aberdeen’s sites.

To make sure I had Victor’s URL right I went to his site.

Both Kris and Victor knows my friend Ean Jackson. And I guess this is what made my heart beat faster when I opened Victor’s site.

Victor shows some of his most recent photos on his home page. When I opened it up I saw a photo with the caption “Jackson”. In it you see 2 search and rescue technicians doing their work.

Ean is an ultra-runner, and you never know what he might be up to. A while back he ran for 43 HOURS and 50 minutes, completing the 180 km long Sunshine Coast Trail NON-STOP!

So, it would not surprise me if Ean needed some Search and rescue help somewhere.

Jackson turned out to be a dog. A black lab that had just fallen off a 50 ft cliff.

I’m glad it wasn’t Ean, and happy they rescued the dog as well.

Have you donated to your local Search and rescue group lately?

  1. On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog.

    Actually, there’s a cartoon behind that saying. It’s at:
