    Do you ever think about offering mentoring sessions to local hobbyist photographers? Hi, my name is Rock Adams. I’m a friend of Seth Hamel from back in Boston. I am a doctor so I mostly shoot for fun. I shoot mostly action sports (like the hurricane high school basketball team). Well, my niece asked me to shoot her senior photos and I really have no clue what to do. I was wondering if you ever allow like an “intern” to accompany you on a shoot to learn how to be professional and how to “do a shoot on location.” If you do offer this, I am willing to pay for this; especially if you were shooting someone’s senior pictures. Like I said, I’m a hobbyist and not trying to steal anybody’s business. In fact I’ve never charged for pictures or sold any pictures. Let me know if you have any interest. Thanks! Here’s my cell phone: 251-508-5855.
