Last night, I drove an hour to that mansion, to shoot their pool at night, for LuxuryPools.com. I drve an hour, only to find out that my camera is broken. I was not thrilled, as that camera costs a pretty penny, and is a very big part of my trip / life. I apologized, “I’m sorry gentlemen, it appears I have wasted your time - my camera is broken, and we have to reschedule” It was easy enough to keep my cool.. I don’t know why. I took off, and drove an hour back. It gave me time to catch up on some calls. I spent the rest of the night studying some 3d.
This morning, after running (That was fun.. I got up when it was nice and cold, ran down the hill, to the park, around the paths- watching the myst hovering above fields and streams- then on the way back, I ran through the nature trails, wearing many spider webs, and I even saw something I’ve never seen before! Metalic green dragonflies with solid black wings!), I was very eager to get my camera looked at. I called Peachtree Camera Repair. They said I could bring it in for a look. They even give professional cameras priority.
I took my camera, ran to my car — hadn’t even showered the sweat off, and I hear “Sir! Can you take me to Publix?”
It was one of my neighbors that I had not met yet. It turns out her name is Elen, and she’s a single mother of 2. She works at Publix, her car is in the shop, she usually has a ride, which today flaked. I was really wanting to just go… just get my camera looked at, and fixed, but I said “oh… ok.. sure… let’s go!” On the ride to Publix, that’s when I learned her name, occupation, and we exchanged some stories. After I dropped her off, my GPS was able to tell me how to get to Peach Tree Camera Repair.
Upon arrival, the owner took my camera to the back, dropped it off with their tech, and came back shortly after… “You’re good to go!” “Already?” “Yup” - they fixed it so quickly, and did not even charge me! Heck.. we got to talking, and he told me that his son gives free guitar lessons, if I’d like to go, it’s at their church on Sundays. His son is in a contemporary Christian band, and just had his 1st CD pressed. I had double checked if I owe them anything, in case they just forgot to bill me… “no sir.. .if it takes that little bit of time, we’re not going to charge” - I was thrilled. This is the same place, for those who forgot, that fixed both my flashes just 2 months ago. One flash was physically broken (it’s leg was broke, so it wouldn’t go on the camera), the other had a bulb die, and needed to be sent off. If you are in Georgia, and want factory certified technicians for all major camera manufacturers, service that is qualified, friendly, and reliable, then you have to go to PeachTree Camera Repair Shop!
