Alex slid her shoes off, wiggled her toes, turned her face to the sky like a sunflower and listened to her call go to voicemail. “This is Shane Lee, director of photography at National Geographic. I can’t take your call right now. Please leave your name and number. Thank you.” This time, she decided to leave a message. “Shane, this is Alex Diosa.

I won’t take much of your time, please give me a call.” She continued her walk to the vegetable garden while thumbing a text to Mr. Lee. If she didn’t hear back by the next day, she’d call again.
