Some of you may remember this thread where I attended yet another motor vehicle accident.

Well... finally a mva has paid off. I had a call from news ltd this afternoon and I will finally see some of my shots in full colour in the paper. A couple are being used in an article and printed tomorrow evening.

yay!! it's nice to get a break every now and then...

will scan and post article at a later date.....

Congrats Mark, looking forward to seeing them

Awesome Mark, congratulations! Did you approach them, or they you?

Well done mate....yeah, I'd be interested to know how they found you (or if you sent pics in to them)...

thanks glen...

MCWB && Wacky... they approached me... which is nice. I had previously sent other shots which didn't make it to print... so i guess persistence paid off.

Good onya Mark, mate i know it feels good when this happens, i get a few in the local now and then and have been aproached by district council to use 1 of my coast photo's to appear on promotional material such as fridge magnets, poster's etc.. Love job and an invite to the promotion launch and all materail to put in i guess a portfolio. So yes it's a buzz.
Congrats mate and hope they get many more from you.
Cheers
John

awesome stuff John!!!! yeh... the feeling should subside in about 15 mins when i have to go and take more and start the process all over again...

Well done Mark. Excellent news indeed.

Thanks Steve... much appreciated...

Congrats xerubus.

However, I'm confused.
You've previously submitted shots to them, and they contacted to ask you if you had any of this accident? Is that right?

thanks mate...

yes... i've previously submitted shots to them... but the article is about motorcycles in particular and these shots fit their theme perfectly... make sence?

G'day Mark & well done.
Hope there are lots more.
Will you be in the Aussie or the Curious-Snail tomorrow?

Congrats, Mark, and well done.

Oh, .... there you are .... all the way up .....

That sound great Mark

Well done Mark...

I did happen to mention your photos at the News Ltd. photography desk...
(Just kidding, but I would have if I'd thought about it... )

I'm currently trying to get friendly with their Sydney photographers to see if I can tag along with them... Maybe I need to set my sights higher...

Well done mark

Excellent news, Mark. Keep it up.

thankyou Gary...

I missed the beginnings of this thread but the benefit of that was seeing the article and photo without having to wait too long!
I remember seeing your bike crash photos previously so I'm not surprised you got picked up by the paper. Well done!

With the efforts you're putting in to your photojournalism I expect we'll be seeing quite a bit more of your work in various publications.

I'm curious...Do you know what the "XC" means below the photo in the article?

Not sure what the XC means.... there was supposed to be a creditline to Mark Cross Photography there however there was an issue at printing time. I made sure that the next article they printed (posted in a different thread) definitely included the creditline...

cheers

Excellent Mark,

That would be a great feeling.

Well done !

Mic.

thanks mic... muchos gracious....
