moodyskydiver 0 #5 June 15, 2008 Norman is a damn cool guy once you meet him and get past the shock of meeting someone with his awesome reputation.I had the privelage of working for him at WFFC 04 and he was very good to me as an assistant and as a friend (he jumped with me for my birthday and did pics and video for me).I'd work for him again in a heartbeat.Plus he gave me the option of buying some of his old photography equipment a few months later.Ofcourse I had to jump on that!

flyinchicken 0 #6 June 15, 2008 Actually the lower left is Amy, the upper right Missy. My eyes are in the lower right area with the chinese symbol for aviation flying, (I actually used that symbol to abstract the whole painting). "Diligent observation leads to pure abstraction".

moodyskydiver 0 #8 June 15, 2008 He was just looking for an assistant for WFFC and asked around and a friend of mine dropped my name to him and gave him my info.(I was working at my friend's gear store at the time at SD Sebastian,FL over the summer..thanks again Jack!)Then NK called me and made me a deal I couldnt refuse.So I spent the whole convention working for him.The rest is history.

Alternatively you can knock him down a notch like Steveo (Fastrax 4-way team camera flyer) did when he introduced Norman Kent to one of our brand new jumpers who had absolutely no idea who he was... Not that I have anything against Mr Kent... I think he is a very very skilled and knowledgeable videographer and camera flyer... along with Joe Jennings, Greg Gasson, Laslo, Mike McGowan... I'm always interested in picking the brains of any or all of these guys... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
