Abbey shooters & I just had to hit THAT button

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 6:26 AM
Applications for the Abbey Photographic team are still open, details below.

Still doing crazy bloody 50hr weeks at the office! Sorry all, but I HAD to kill off the 3000+ deviations in my inbox and all the left over comments I hadn't caught up on.

The time has come to open the way for applications of interest to photographers and videographers interested in medieval imagery and willing to work in a disciplined and tight knit team. There are only ten places open for photographers besides myself as the coordinator and with Steve Lippis aka :icongrekonos: as my 2IC. Last year I had a team of twenty and only half of them bothered to follow directions or to supply images as per the contract. Despite this I managed to supply the non-profit museum with 37,000 images from the last two years to kick off their digital image library.

The following link: [link] is the only way in which you can join the team, no exceptions.

I was having them mailed in hard copy to the Abbey Museum but now we're running out of time so contact me directly as soon as you can.

The terms and conditions of entry have been written by a trusted fellow photographer with the rights of photographers in mind. You do get to retain your copyright and while licensing promotional and library use of your images to the museum and festival, you wont lose publishing rights of your own. Read the PDF for more information.

What does joining this team gain you? It gets you free admission to the best seats (ok- sometimes it's a patch of grass or mud) in the house to some of the finest medieval re-enactment in the world. It gets you up close and personal with some of the worlds highest ranked jousters and finest medieval swordsmen/women. It gets you into the safety marshal areas so that you can shoot the tournaments from under the ropes instead of from 5 feet behind them (ie: no gaudy flags between you and the knights as they fight unless you position yourself to capture that).

If you're fit enough to lug your gear around for two days getting shots of some of the most interesting performance and sport on show in Australia then it's worth considering joining the team.

Aw I'am sorry that the cat was mistreated. .... Does she have a new home?

I probably removed it as I did not really want more than one reminder of how crap that poor cat's owner treated it.
