So this morning I woke up at like 6am (about 8 hours earlier than normal since im nocturnal mostly) on about 4 hours sleep. For some reason this put me ina fantastic mood and even though i was simply wandering around the house most ofthe day cleaning and washing I was still in a great mood, singing and laughing like madman. Probably one of the better days that i have had in ages.

I then decided that because i would be working from 10pm - 5am that i should go and have a nap.

BIG MISTAKE.

While i slept perfectly the first thing i got to enjoy once i had awakend was a email from my employer who was passing on a complaint made by a customer of the club i work at.

To sum it up, said customer approached me requesting a high resolution print copy of a photograph i took while working the previous week. The customer approached me via my private facebook adress.

I politely requested that all business enquiries be directed to my business account/email simply so its easier for me to keep track of. I also informed him that prints and digital copies were indeed available for purchase.

As soon as the word 'purchase ' became involved I was suddenly not a 'decent bloke' because i wished to be paid for my work. This was accompanied by a torrent of abusive assumptuions made as to my character.

Is it just me or does no one seem to understand that as a small business and self employed artist that my time and resources arn't infinite and as such i need to atleast make SOME money in order to cover my costs and continue operating?

This was compounded by the marketing manager of the club (who pays me as little as he can get away with) stating that he personally expects customers to be able to get free copies of the images. Australian Copyright Law states that I am the owner of the images in this case. I did point out that i was happy to provide them for free to customers if the club was willing to foot the expense. Suddenly and unsuprisingly my refusal to provide free services made sense.

All this occured in the single hour before i began work. Needless to say i was not in a very bouncy mood when i arrived. Not expecting anyone to read this really. Just needed to get it off my chest.

Hope everyone else had a great day and are smiling away smile

Much Love,
Benji
