Time to focus

October. Wow, only a few more weeks until Christmas. Have you started Christmas shopping yet? I've started to jot down a few ideas on what to get my family. Now I just have to wait until my next pay day to start getting them all...hehehe.

I've started working out again. Time to get back into shape towards the end of the year. So, I'll have to see what my results are in a few months.

I went to a friend's 23rd party last night. It was great again to see my cousins and mates. We had a BBQ dinner and spent all night drinking and laughing. I didn't get home until 4am. Woke up at 10am today and mowed the lawn later on in the afternoon. I'm not at work today because it is public holiday in Sydney.

Family have decided that we are going overseas next year in July instead of the end of the year. I think it is best for all of us as we are all so busy and never had time to organise anything these past few months. Things are starting to slow down a bit and we can now get things done...


This is my deviation for the week...



I've been thinking over the past few days and I've decided that my main focus use for deviantART is to showcase all my photography work. Every now and then I will post some of my web design work and flash animations, but it will primarily be on photography. I want to get as much exposure as I can from this site...


2 weeks ago, the company I work for asked me to take a portrait shot of a colleague so that we can use her photo on a brochure we are creating to promote on of our services. The prints came in and I'm very happy they have asked me to take some shots and has given me some experience.

Actually a few months ago, they have also asked me to take a few photos that was published on the Take 5 magazine. I bought the magazine where my photo was used. I was so happy that it was my work they've added.

Since they have been happy with my photos and I'm sure in the future will ask me to take some more. Would it be right to ask for a bit of incentive? They didn't include my name in the advertising like "Photos by...", is it good to ask them? Or perhaps, receive a form of compensation for the money I am saving the company...like extra photographic equipment?

It would be good if I can just do that for the company. Earn free stuff and gain the experience at the same time.
