Fame at last

Some of the pics posted < here > of the cruise ship Amadea in Torbay recently were published in our local paper < here >

No money out of it but at least I got a byline

Cheers,

Re: Fame at last

Thanks Ian and Stan

Ian: I know what you mean but they could have paid me the pro rate if they'd wanted

I have been paid in the past for taking team shots at local tournaments but it was like getting blood out of a stone

Cheers,
John

Re: Fame at last

least the offer was there, thats the main thing

I know what you mean about getting blood from stone - I have similar problems with clients websites and hosting, funny they soon pay me when I remove there site....and if they still don't pay the space gets a nice posted message asking for money ;o)

Well done John. Shame all you got was your name though

Re: Fame at last

Thanks Alan.

The local paper did reply saying of my images and report that "the South West News Freelance Agency is keen to contact you as they want to take them to a wider audience" and asked for my permission to pass my contact details on to them. This I gave and am patiently awaiting their call although I suspect they may have mislaid my number

Cheers,
John

Nice shot at Dawlish too - I bet you didn't get paid either though
