I should have written this update last month. Anyway, to answer the question on weather I should try to get in a photo with Warren Buffett. The answer would be no. Not my place to ask. But here is where the perk comes in. While shooting at the cocktail hour, the CEO of the company came up to me and said... Let me back up a bit. I've been getting hired by this company for around 17 years now, so the top brass knows me as well as I know them, and they treat me like family. So he said, "how would you like to be in a picture with Warren? Thinking this over for a split second, knowing I had only one answer to give him, and it couldn't be no, I said "sure"! He went on to say, "Jim over there is a pretty good photographer(ya right)and he will take the picture! On top of that, he said, "After that's done, send me a print and I'll make sure Warren signs it"! There you have it, a done deal, can't say no to that either. The last time I had an icon sign something was when I photographed Mark McGuire of the St Louis Cardinals the year he broke the home run record set by Roger Maris. He signed 2 baseballs, one I gave to my step son the second to my divorce lawyer, lol.
I got the signed 5x7, and it reads... "George, Your job is to make me look good. Not easy! Your Friend Warren Buffet".
