My lightstands and umbrellas arrived today. It took just over a week from the US (mpex.com) and there was no import duty to cover. The total price including postage was about what I would have paid for identical stands in the UK + I got two collapsible umbrellas (that nobody seems to stock here) thrown in.
Wicked. Can't wait to go home and play.
Photography is a hobby for me, but I do think about making some side income from it in the medium term. I am not ready to leave my day job yet, but posts like this (part 2 here and someone else's thoughts here) make me think.
As much as I'd like to live the life of Chase Jarvis in 5 years time, I don't think it will be as easy as he describes (stop being a ski bum, make good pics, sell pics for a good price, get rich...).
Don Giannatti has an informative page on the subject too.
Nunhead cemetery photoes - more to follow.
The above picture is a combination of 7 pictures that were taken off a tripod to keep the framing constant. There were two flashes pointed at Sara's face to avoid dark shadows. I am not completely happy with the whole thing, but it was a funny experiment.
Lesson #1: Stealing straws to make a snoot grid can get you chucked out of the Big Chill House in King's X.
I have never been thrown out from a club before. I am a nice guy, until I start drinking Guinness with whiskey. Then I turn reckless and irresponsible.
Lesson #2: It's totally worth it to suffer for your art. Think of Van Gogh!
Is this a bizarre post or what?
