#73 I am not old!!!

It keeps happening.

It happened again on the weekend.

I met a reader of my ‘Exposed!’ articles, blog, etc. and she exclaimed “I thought you were much older!”

Based on my writing people seem to think I am much older than my actual and youthful 39.9 years. And I am not sure why!

To show my youthful complection see some fine photos people have taken of me:

Am I being touchy with my 40th birthday looming!? Dunno. I am perplexed as to why people imagine I am much older than I feel.

Have fun. Celebrate your years,

#68 Photographers beware!

Everybody’s out to save a buck – even large multinational corporations – and photographers seem to be easy targets!

I was cruising photographervoter last week and came across a link to Lightchasers – a Phillipines based photo web site. They posted a story about a large US based oil firm that has asked the public to donate photos to the company for commercial use. The payment? – a ‘chance’ to win a prize.

It gets worse – please read the posting and just say no to donating photos to large business looking to save the price of well executed photo work!!

For more info read my recent photo newsletter article on the ‘Value of Photography.’

In other news there will be new work posted on ChelseaGallery.ca soon. One of the new prints soon to be available:

Have fun,

Harry
