p.1 #1 · Anyone ever heard of Wonderlens?

I got this email last night. I'm a cynical pr*ck by nature so it struck me as suspicious.

Cheers

Hello, Doug,

I found your information from Twitter and further my research to your wonderful Web site.
I am so impressed by your photography works of nature.

Currently, I am working on a project to collect photography works on a defined theme
that applies to People and Nature for the subject mentioned show.

You are welcome to contact me if you are interested in learning more about the show.

I look forward to working with you.

Best,

Sheila D. Wang

Nope. But just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it isn't legit. Seems like someone is trying to put together a show and is looking for artists/photographers. There are thousands of hole in the wall galleries. I've been to galleries in office buildings under construction and galleries wedged into space between two warehouses in an industrial neighborhood. Just hear the guy out. Worst case scenario she may ask you to make and frame a print and you get wall space for a week. As long as he isn't asking for outright cash I wouldn't be too dismissive.

I once had someone from The Gap call me out of the blue and it was weird. She wanted to meet up for two days and have me take photographs of employees at various stores to be selected at random. And the whole thing was going to go on internal company propaganda. I think I may have quoted her more than they were willing to pay and she flaked out. But you market yourself and the once in a blue moon chance that someone calls you, don't be awkward about it.
