what was your best...
sale/job/assignment ever??? Nov 28 05 07:23 pm Link I was the team photographer for the Dallas Freeze hockey team for a year. I got sick at work and I took off for 5 months and traveled with the team all over the Central Hockey League. It was a blast and I had a lot of fun. Then I wrote a magazine article that the league got mad about and they fired me at the end of the season. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. bs Nov 28 05 07:27 pm Link The first one definitely will always be the most memorable. Nov 28 05 07:28 pm Link well I am about to start singing with a band, they do a lot of sporting events, so that will be the best. The only thing is I would have to cut down on modeling, styling and makeup for shoots, I won't be avail as much, but my travel will be paid and most gigs are at night so I will be able to do afternoon shoots, so all you crazy photographers I just may be coming to your town Nov 28 05 07:34 pm Link Went to work in the morning, checked POP mail in HotMail and had an email from "Reader's Digest." Almost deleted it, but didn't. Someone claimed that RD wanted to buy a photograph. So I answered it and got a response in three minutes specifying the image and offering $800 for restricted-use (worldwide, magazine only) license and a large scan. I said OK, and said I'd have it uploaded before the next morning. Rescanned the B&W film and uploaded the image that evening. The next day they wrote saying they were going to use it as a double truck and doubled their fee offer. I said OK of course and sent a mailing address. The next day someone called asking for my SSN, and I gave it to him. Two days later I got registered mail including a check for $1600. No work to speak of, no hassles at all, no ADs to work with. Nice money for an image I shot for fun with our very own Audra O. - 4868. -Don Nov 28 05 07:50 pm Link The jobs that paid fat cash Nov 28 05 07:55 pm Link Doing the PHP and mySQL for Marilyn Manson's website paid off my car.
