I’ve won the Technical/Scientific Category in the 2011 International Master Photography Awards….
How cool is that :)

To be honest it’s left me a bit speachless, so I’ll just post some pictures of the night instead.

Today … 13 degrees and it’s snowing in Scotland.

Here comes the winter – my favourite time of the year.
Nature’s way of telling me to tidy up my paperwork and keep my books up to date.

Being your own boss?http://www.callumw.com/blog/setting-up-a-business-being-your-own-boss/ http://www.callumw.com/blog/setting-up-a-business-being-your-own-boss/#comments Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:30:06 +0000 CallumW http://www.callumw.com/blog/why-arent-photographers-cheap/ Some of you peeps in the interwebs may have seen the post that I scratched together earlier in the year titled “How does a photographer calculate their fees?“.

In there I skimmed through the basics of how a business can create a simple spreadsheet showing how to work out how much they need to earn to keep their company alive, so they can continue to provide a valuable  service to their clients.

Forgetting the required creativity, skill, technique and equipment that is required for any profession that you choose to follow – this is what happens in the background long before (and after) someone picks up the phone with an enquiry. :D

Photography is the example here, but the core knowledge transfers to virtually every business.

This was from the 2010 JDM Allstars semi-final race held in Wembley London.

It went from scorching hot and clear blue skys to a torrential downpour within 30 minutes … and then the sun came back out again…. weird :-?

Imagine -10C and my numb fingers trying to fiddle around with my cold metal car rig meanwhile trying keep the batteries alive in the camera at the same time. The soundtrack to my chattering teeth was the deep rumble of a 360bhp turbonutter car echoing through a still and deserted underground carpark.

Happy days :)
