Ahh the wonders of South African DNS :-D I get times when all international sites do not work but local do. Pretty standard that. The FUBAR bit is when local sites refuse to work but international sites work fine. I hear they are laying a new line down the east coast of Africa which will have a nice 120gig pipe, can't wait!

Awesome, *they used one of my pictures on a local news site, News24.co.za. I emailed the editor some photos as they had no coverage of the blaze. Ok so sue me, I am chuffed :-D * If the link does not show my photo for you anymore (might have moved onto other news), then view this screen capture

Tough earning good money out of photography and if you do manage to then it is normally after 20 years of learning and getting your work out there and into the right places. And my shots are not anywhere near worth buying... maybe one day :)

Cape Town, South AfricaNot always. A friend of mine is photograph. He made small jobs for 5 years, then got one for a car magazine, which he's always working for. First he's paid approx. 100€ per picture in the magasine (generally between 5 to 10 pictures per week), and second cars makers lend him their newest cars so he can make the pictures. Nice, isn't it? :)

Nice, isn't it? That second bit would be payment enough for me :-D He must be quite good though. Care to tell me his name and which car magazine? No problem if you don't want to. I will be happy with photography wether people want to buy my shots one day or not. And probably if I did get paid then I would put the money back into better equipment and travel money so I can get those glorious shots :)
