    Me and my Big Mouth

    One of our company directors was complaining about the photography at a business meeting, saying the photographers (volunteers) didn't show and all they had was rubbish P&S images and he wished they had good pictures of the events.
    I reminded him that three years ago almost every photo of our ABDA meetings in the company magazine was mine ... and that I have a bag of pro gear just begging to be used.
    OOps !

    This week I get an email saying that a big bird has told Marketing that I might be available to photograph the 10th anniversary celebrations.
    Fine, no problem there - fame if not fortune awaits.

    But did they have to put this in the company magazine that goes out all the sales teams in 8 countries ?

    Yes, that last line in red ... is me - scary isn't it :blush2:

    Well, I'd assume that since it says "Professional" that means you're going to get paid for it, right?
    I just hope you're not so busy with photographing that you don't get some time to dance with one of those 'lovely dancers'.
    Have fun!
    Keep Shooting!

    Just what I was thinking! The way this goes IME, be happy with the fame. A little "kissing up" can go a long way. I try not to talk much about photography at work because it always leads to volunteer work, but that's life. Still, there are a lot worse ways to earn brownie points...
