The Great Senator Mike Michaels

[RadoStefanov]

A month ago I spent my day off with the great senator Mike Michaels.

We had Chicken and Waffles and a great conversation.

He is doing good but staying away from the internet. Which is admirable and something that I inspire to do.

I snapped a photo which my Leica CL on a Kodak XX 5222 cinema B&W stock. Developed in Kodak Xtol 1:1 at 75F

I am so glad to hear this! 

Have been worried about him, and since he is off the net, no news at all until you have met him.

I kept in touch. He was in bad shape health wise but recovered and looks great.

SO awesome. Glad to hear. Appreciate the update Rado.

Thank you so much, Rado, for posting this! Senator has kept such a low profile we have all been worried about him. I hope he's doing okay and I respect his desire to stay off social media (but I do miss him!).

It is good to see him. I hope he reads this and knows we miss him.

He would not read this but I will make sure to get the message to him.

We all need some "It depends..." t shirts!  Glad he's upright!

I should send him a royalty every time someone asks me a stupid question and I answer with "Maybe you should lower your day rate."

I am trying to emulate him on Facebook but the youth gets easily triggered.

They really do. I see so many people asking questions online that they really should know before charging money for their services. Most of the time these people are already on set in a panic and somehow believe that asking a group online is quicker than consulting a manual. But if I bring it up man, they spit acid at you. Being a professional isn’t what it used to be. Apparently it’s ok to barely know your job and be unprepared, just as long as you do it with a smile.

Thanks so much for letting us know the Senator is doing well!  Please pass along my regards the next time you speak to him.

Thank you, Rado! Send him greetings from Greece (now Sweden).

Thanks Rado, 

 

I had the privilege to sit with him and chat for the evening at NAB some years back. He was one of the ones who really instilled in me -respect for this site, and I've valued it like no other website since then.

Off Topic, but given the source......

I just picked up a mint condition SD552 with the Senators' stickers all over it, from Reverb.
