STIHL Catalogue

[Steve Connally]

Well, look out Mark C. Here I come........... Boss tells me to look nice tomorrow. STIHL is going to use us, me for the Bar and Chain catalogue. Photographer went to the job site today to set up and will be shooting, with lighting, as I take down a pine tomorrow. I should be on the cover climbing. Kinda cool. Not sure how we fell into that. I think my boss has a connection at the factory and we do work on the Virginia Beach property for them. The company is being featured in the catalogue. Kinda cool. What's nice is that I will have some cool pics to show my mini me what Daddy does at work. Hope they like the sound of my modded 201T and my 15 year old MS361. Should be interesting. Doubt i'll make it into a trade mag but none the less, a nice opportunity for me and 5 minutes of tree fame.

It was really fun. Great people. They invited me to dinner with you all tonight but since I have a good bit of a drive and my little man I didnt think it would work out. Maybe some other time. They did the shots and then shot me doing a takedown waiting to stage wood and brush for the next shot my boss was in. It was fun. How luck am I?

Nice gig, Steve. That'll make some great marketing materials for the company!

 

[Steve Connally]

Yeah it will help the boss! He's super excited about it. I'm hoping it'll open some kind of door for me. Who knows what but you never know. It's just a cool thing for my son to have. Someday he'll really think about it and maybe when I'm long gone it'll be a significant item for him.

Hell, you'll get points with your grand kids from those pics man.

It will be Steve. My dad became a model and a movie extra when he retired. His Grandkids got to see him in a music video for The Tragically Hip (the guy on the exercise machine) and we have pictures from an ad campaign he did for CBC radio and Bank of Montreal. One of the first times I saw the BMO ad poster was walking down a main street in Toronto and there he was in the window of the bank branch.

That's pretty cool. Steve Buscimi was in FDNY and he was an extra on a movie set. Look at him now! Not sure how far my ugly mug will take me. I was kinda hoping to ride my sons coat tails. He's super handsome..
