From: Sam GentryTo: Bridgette KuhnSubject: For the "Get to Know Us" section of the websiteHi Bridgette, I’ve been put in charge of building the "Get to Know Us" page on the new website, and I came up with the idea of including a personal photo and favorite quote for everyone. I’ve enlisted the help of Janet Derbish to collect this material, and she’s already spoken with more than 20 people. However, what she’s found is a lot of them don’t have any personal photos available that they’d like to post on the website. So, I thought that we might have a group photo shoot one day this week to collect images of everyone in the office. Someone mentioned to me that you have a degree in photojournalism, and I was wondering if you might be interested in taking charge of the shoot. Please let me know soon if you’re able to do this. - Sam From: Bridgette Kuhn To: Sam Gentry Subject: Re: For the "Get to Know Us" section of the website Hi Sam, What a great idea about posting photos of everyone on the new website! I think that will give it a real personal touch. To answer your question, though, I actually studied journalism in college, not photojournalism. In fact, the only camera I own is the one on my phone! So I don’t think I’m the best person to spearhead the photo shoot. But if you’re still looking for someone, I can recommend one of my colleagues here in the IT department: Jorge Morales. He is a gifted amateur photographer and runs an online shop in his spare time through which he sells his photos. His extension is 204 if you’d like to talk to him yourself, or I can have him call you. Also, I haven’t been contacted by Ms. Derbish yet, but I do have a personal photo that I wouldn’t mind contributing to the webpage, which I’ll attach to this email. And here is my favorite quote, by William James: "The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook." Let me know if you need anything else. - Bridgette How do Mr. Gentry and Ms. Kuhn probably know each other
