Happy Days V.2.0.1.1

Postby Raskill on Mon Sep 18, 2006 12:25 pm

Happy days Mk II.

I got my pic published in Auto Action last week, in the Brock Tribute edition, so that made me happy.

I just got an email from Auto Action asking if I could attend the memorial for Brock tomorrow at Mt. Panorama and supply them with 3 -4 images from the same. They contacted me!!! They'll probably only use one image, but still, thats twice I'll have been published in a fortnight!

I know it's just a case of right place and right time, but it all helps. I can use these auto action pics as a basis for future media accreditation for motor sport events.

Either way, I'm happy!

Now, to convince them to pay me more......

Congratulations, its nice to see something positive coming from Brockie's death, I hope this leads to further opportunities, certainly getting media accreditation would help a lot.

Alan,

Chris's post sums the situation up perfectly.

Well done, but it's a shame that it needs to be done at all.
