21 Years……Oh my
7-7-1997
That date is incredibly important for us.
You probably already guessed it due to the title… it’s our wedding day.
So today, no workshops, no behind the closed DOORs, some social media, but limited… but today it’s our anniversary.
So Annewiek…….
What does she actually do in my life….
She’s always with me when we travel.
We always say, “If you hire Frank, you get Annewiek as well”
She’s great in carrying my gear during workshops or travels
Now that sounds more bad than it is. Because Annewiek knows how everything works (although she always claims to know nothing about the gear, she actually does) she can help out perfectly during workshops and travel while I focus on the attendees and on filming or shooting. When we get new gear I always let Annewiek decide when it’s something we have to carry. Now again… it might sound bad but in essence I also lug around a lot of gear, but during workshops I really want to focus on you guys.
She’s always setting things up.
When I teach workshops I love it that everyone wants to talk with me, get their selfies etc. But I also have to setup my laptop (or break it down), check lighting, see if the camera works, start up the software etc. Luckily this is where Annewiek helps out. The only thing I have to do…. well is show up and do my thing. She arranges everything.
She’s doesn’t know anything about video and photography.
But she filmed (and edited) most of our instructional videos, when she films for the vlog she often is more creative than the interns that studio video, and she…..
She’s a great photobomber (video bomber)
How many times did she appear in my frame behind me when I’m explaining something and I later during editing see her big smile behind me…… oh she did it again. It also drew the attention from the viewers because they kept asking her to do it more…. DON’T ENCOURAGE HER
She’s there.
Whenever I need something done, have a problem, need anything. Annewiek is someone that will do it, that will take care of it or just listens.
In short…..
She just Rocks.
Annewiek….. congrats on our 21st anniversary.
And let’s go for another (at least 50).
