When it comes to this subject, many experts will tell you that ''you really must pay attention and understand what they're saying''.

To me it's just important to understand what they're NOT saying!


Treat a conversation as a lawyer would treat a contract.  Too many statements are vague.  Get every detail.  Don't leave one stone unturned.

Perfect example!  Really!  It is!!!

To the average actor, it might mean they're going to California to be featured in major movies.

To me it means Uno's gonna drive me to Sunrise Mountain in Las Vegas (to the intersection of Lake Mead Blvd and Hollywood Drive), where he's going to cut a star shaped symbol from a piece of paper!  He did what he stated.  He took me to Hollywood.  He made me a star!

Details!  Ya gotta find out the details!!!

See...it's not that hard......most people are pretty obvious in what they want and reading between the lines is a matter of experience and awareness......although I admit my sample was a bit obvious.....but you get the picture...

Today I met a girl, and she told me that she's a model.  When I responded that I'm a photographer she got all smiley and stuff, than asked if I wanted to see her portfolio.  I responded with an enthusiastic 'of course'.

So, she brings out her book and a stack of other pictures to go along with it.  All of the photos were wonderful.  They were propely exposed, well lit, and had depth to 'em.  Really good stuff.

Then she asked if I wanted to take some pictures.  I replied 'yes'.

So, I took a bunch of pictures.

Next thing you know... I was being 'cuffed and escorted off to the pokey on theft charges!

Seems like she wanted me to photograph her, but I thought she wanted me to take her pictures!!!

Yes, it's really important to get all of the details to understand what people really mean!
