Subject: RE: Very much would appreciate your HELP in our survey...
Finally! A chance to make a difference in this crazy world!
Dear fellow photographers...
We need your HELP making us RICH!!
[ QUESTIONNAIRE ]
** General Data :
Country - Yes, but also a little bit rock n' roll.
Age Sex :MaleFemale - What? Age sex? Is that a Jakartan term? Do you mean
would I do it with a grandma? How does that have any impact at all on
photo tours? I'm appalled that you would even ask such a question even on
an anonymous questionnaire. Have you no sense of decency?! But to answer
the question, of course as long as she likes to bake cookies.
** Our Research Questions :
1. How would you grade yourself as a photographer ?
(Please choose 1 description from the list below which best describes
yourself and your photographic interest and skills)
-1- Happy Snapper (why are you talking about sex again?)
-2- Beginner
-3- Semi-amateur
-4- Amateur
-5- Advanced-amateur
-6- Semi-professional
-7- Professional
-8- Advanced-professional
Actually I fit into category 9
-9- Light exists and has existed since the dawn of existence solely for
the purpose of realizing my vision in a tangible form.
2. Say you are considering to join a photo tour, what would be
the 3 most important criteria for you to choose a certain tour ?
(Please choose 3 criteria from the list below and fill in the numbers
1,2,3
in order of importance, with number 1 being of highest importance - please
leave
the other options blank)
Once again the options that apply to me are not even listed amongst your
choice of options. The 3 things I look for are
1. Media coverage. When I travel I like to pose as a famous actor. I need
a place where they've heard of Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck but they're not
too familiar with what they look like.
2. Quality of the domestic liquor. While many villages in the Dominican
Republic fit criteria 1, some smaller distilleries 'smooth out' the rum
with diesel fuel and as any photo tour aficionado knows, diesel fuel
should only be mixed with tequila.
3. Geographical origin of fellow tour members. New Yorkers tend to lock
things up and constantly watch their gear whereas people from Missouri or
Ohio will not totally doubt you when you tell them 'No, I remember when
you got here you had a Yashica lens on your Leica. I thought how weird
because here I have a Leica lens on my Yashica!'
3. Which of the following facilities on / with regard to a photo
tour do you find important and not mind paying extra for ?
You lost me on this one.
4. Do you have any other ideas or input for us ?
(We would very much appreciate your ideas and inputs !!)
Yes. I'll email you offline and let you know where I think you should
input your questionnaire.
Greg
