Jase mentioned John (BBJ) had people wanting to buy his photos of the Capirossi crash!

Todays Herald Sun (Saturday 15th Oct) BACK PAGE! and page 79 has the photos that are here at John's site. They have been cropped and are credited to Getty Images but they have to be Johns!

Looks like the month for getting images published! Congrats BBJ.
This was the back page shot!

Gathering BBJ is down at Phillip Island? :)
Oh and congrats John!

That's the main problem I think selling your photo to places like Getty Images instead of going to papers directly is that you name doesn't get printed.

Congrats John, wow you've hit the headlines! :)

I hope you did gain from it being published, and not some turdmuncher that stole your image and sold to Getty.

Actually, it's funny because a friend of John's works for 'Getty Images' and after speaking with John on the mobile, he rushed over from the infield to copy the shoots to a spare card, then raced back over to wheel and deal. :lol: This guy's really got some great contacts and hopefully John's going to make a packet! I'm sure you'll here all the details when he returns home. John's over the moon at the moment! :D
