beyond, wanting to give us some fantastic shots.

He never really sat down, so he worked pretty much from 1pm to 7pm or so.

Will and I would like to buy him something to say 'thank you' since he did this free of charge - but what is an appropriate gift? As much as I hate gift cards - I am considering buying him an Amazon gift card and writing a note inside the card telling him that we wanted to buy him something photography related but weren't sure what, so he could use that for whatever equipment he needs/wants...is that not a good idea? Can anyone suggest anything instead?

(Note: he lives in CA so something like "ship him some booze" probably won't work.)

Thanks!

for me, it's really the joy I can give with the pics that is the best reward - marcel Oct 14, 15:00
Is there something photography related you can think of? -- nm - Dano Oct 14, 14:56 1
- He's pretty.....quality so the odds are we'd either get him something beneath the rest of his equipment or something he doesn't need - Will Hunting Oct 14, 15:02
CA, eh? Does he live near a Fry's? A techie would appreciate a GC from there. -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 14:56 5
- umm, he might? (I can't sign into FB right now so I can't see his exact location - is FB down for anyone else?) - kelly Oct 14, 15:00 4
  - There's a Fry's in SD -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 15:03 3
    - According to FB, he is in SD so that might work. Thanks. -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 15:05 2
      - (actually, he lives in Lakeside.) -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 15:14
      - No prob. I mean, an Amazon GC would totally work, too, but - con_carne Oct 14, 15:14
my friend got me a nice bottle of whisky for basically the same thing, but since that's off the books I'd need to know more about him. - mafic Oct 14, 14:54
If I were your uncle, I would be pleased that I could choose my own purchase. - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:52
does he collect anything? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 14, 14:52 1
- I don't know. He might. - kelly Oct 14, 14:54
