I spoke at the University of Montana in Missoula last night. Flying
home this morning, my connecting flight went through Salt Lake City. I
sat directly beside John Eyring, son of Apostle Henry Eyring. We talked
about investments, porn, the Church, and for about 5 minutes we talked
about Heather and Jon Armstrong, dooce.com and blurbomat.com. He said
nice things about you two.

But mostly we talked about porn.

He was intrigued by the work I do with xxxchurch.com as well as the
debate we did that aired on Nightline last Friday night (filmed two weeks prior
to cap off Sex Week at Yale University). He’s a cool guy.

Thought you might be interested to hear that the son of the man in
line to become the Prophet (”if he lives long enough”) not only knows
who you two are but had kind words to say about you.

When he said his father was one of the 12 Apostles I knew that was an interesting
thing, but until I just now did a google search I had no idea “big” he is in the LDS
church.

He was flying out to Sacramento for a board meeting. We talked the entire time, and
all the way down the corridor after de-planing.

He seriously did speak kindly of you two and knew exactly who you are.

He also seemed to get a kick out of the “Jesus Loves Porn Stars” bibles XXXChurch.com
gives out at porn conventions.

I had a b&w darkroom for a number of years and I found out first-hand that you really can’t rescue something that is an actual crappy shot. The torture in that is by the time you get the negatives processed and the prints dried and you find out it’s crap, it’s too late to go back and take it again. Digital is immediate, and if it’s a still, you get do-overs.

I really want to get into digital stuff including printing my own shots, but that’s down the road apiece money-wise.

I am just curious, are you a trained photographer or self-taught? Has Heather taught you or vice-versa, or is it just something you both happen to enjoy. Have you thought about selling your prints? Just curious and nosy.
