The other day, after reading a post by Leigh about becoming a christmas photographer, I thought it would be a laugh to apply to become a christmas photographer.

I just got a call, asking me in for an interview! I don't know why I do these things you know, why the hell do I not engage my brain before acting???

Anyway, I'm in two minds about this:
1. It would be a nice distraction from web development
BUT
2. I would have to probably dress up as an elf!

Now I don't think a 6 foot, bald, unshaven guy such as myself is going to make a very good elf and put the kiddie winks at ease.
But I mean, how hard can it be?

Cheers
Elfboy

Go on , do it..


Thinki of all the Yummy Mummys you'll meet


MATT

Elfboy,

Gopher it.

You'd be the only elf I've seen wearing a leather jacket and a thong.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen many elfs at all, so what do I know, maybe that's their summer uniform.

is it byo gear? how well does it pay?

I'm buggered if it's bring your own elf gear!!!

That's what I don't know. See I haven't really researched this much.

Let us know where you will be located...and give all dslrusers members a free santa pic

Hell Matt, why not give it a go, i seen a young girl in our local shopping centre and all she had on was a xmas hat of sorts, and for what i understand mate 1 look at you mate and you wont have to worry about pulling faces to get the kids to smile.
Yummy Mummies as well, what more could you ask for,uhmm maybe to be santa.LOL
Cheers

Come to think of it Matt... you'll probably look a lot like BBJ's Avatar

Be prepared for the police checks...

John, I have to use that because i am really scary.

We can all turn up with our cameras and give Elfboy a hard time.

But the really fun part is that he gets to deal with all of those luverly, screaming kiddies!

Yech!

I did that last year to the young girl here, told her to sit on santa's lap and i took a pic of her, she had a laugh and refused but gave in and next day i took her pic in and gave to her. Would look ok hey Gary 20 photogs rock up to take pics of Matt taking pics.

Bugger.

Yeah, everyone's invited to come and have their pictures taken on santas knee. Of course, the cost will be double as I will be obliged to post them on the net unless payment is forthcoming.

That would be interesting... especially if it's in a Westfield Centre

Come to think of it when the girl here was doing she was doing it for Fuji who had a shop in the plaza, nothing special, think it might even been film but anyhow good luck could be fun.

"Yessir. We're with him. "

If you wore your leather jacket, Matt, you could be 'Biker Elf' and depending where you were located it could draw some interesting responses!

Not too sure if you should follow this example, a 6ft elf clad only in a xmas hat of sorts is not a pretty sight to imagine but put me down for the photo trip. Love to see where you wear the hat head number 1 or 2

Cheers,
