"Do you do family portraits?""Ahhh... no, we don't. We are an art gallery."
"Me and my fiancee want a family portrait and I just called a place here in Laconia. That's where I am. And they want $400." Very high pitched whistle through the phone and into my ear to indicate that $400 was a lot of money.
"Well there use to be a place up the street who did them, but I believe they are gone." I am quickly going through my mental Rolodex to come up with a solution to this gentleman's problem before he whistles in my ear again. I can't think of another portrait photographer.
"J.C. Penney use to do portraits. Do you know if they still do them?"
"Well, you might try calling them." I am still scanning my mental Rolodex... does J.C. Penney still exist?
"Okay."
So this is the glamorous world of directory assistance art galleries. I suppose if he gets stuck I could help him out in a pinch. I have figured out how to use the auto timer so that I can get portraits of my family.... all two of us. You get a pretty good sense of what my dog looks like from this photo- aye?

"Call a gallery, they'll know!"
