Over the last two weeks I have had a half dozen people call me (I don't even know how they got my number or know me!) to shoot jobs for them - Airports, Hot Water Systems, People, Nature/Conservation Billboards ... Some guy has emailed me that he is sending me a cheque from 300km away and I haven't even done anything for him. :confused013

I took a job yesterday shooting hot water systems for one of the largest hot water system suppliers in the world and actually got paid very well. Tonight they upped their payment by 25% after I had sent the images through. :confused013:confused013

Thanks all,

I think it has all come about after having a bunch of images in a recent wildlife brochure and that placement in the ANZANG competition which is touring now. You should see it when it reaches you city.

Hopefully something will come of it all. I don't need to change jobs, but enjoy my photography and wouldn't mind being able to more easily afford or trade up to some more gear some day.
