calvers

I've gotten over my bad month blues. I have a ccouple of big shoots that will make up for last month and pay for this one, so I'm really going to cruise through just looking at stories to cover, shooting stock and getting stuck into rustling up business for december and the new year. I've picked up a load of magazine contacts and a few potential regular corporates, which is encouraging.

Big focus is getting that fucking plymouth back on the road. The magazine I shoot for has enough contacts for me to stick it into a specialist with a blank cheque and not be too scared of a massive bill. It has to be back on the road for christmas.

Everyone around me is delighted that the flu has casued me to loose my voice; now all we need is a virus that also breaks all of my fingers and then all of my online friends can get some peace as well!

Not a lot on the cards and being ill has at least made me get some housekeeping done, accounts are up to date and the studio actually looks good enough to bring a cclient into.

I've been researching a couple of odd leads for stories this month, including a not very underground bestial dating service.......I'm serious! I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with it; it is one of the few illegal sexual practices that everyone can think of a joke about - serious subject, but hard to take seriously. Not exactly front page of your favourite family newspaper and unlikely to grace the pages of a lifestyle magazine....rotten.com maybe?!
