So, You Want To Be A Photographer
Received this email last week, is from my wife's niece, who went about being a photographer the right way, that is, did photo journalism at Uni or wherever , part of her email as follows:
"Subject: Another boring old day at my job
Oh you know, hate to complain, but today I got stuck with the really
shit job of FLYING IN A HELICOPTER OUT TO SEA TO PHOTOGRAPH QUEEN MARY 2
AS IT SAILED PAST BYRON BAY!! Yeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Gosh my job sucks sometimes. They even opened the door out in the
middle of the Ocean so I could take my photographs. I believe, and I
think you can quote me fairly accurately on this, my exact words were
"HOLY SHIT". Apparently, and you cannot quote me on this as I was caught
up in the excitement, the pilot pissed himself laughing at my nervous
giggling and repeated use of the word 'Jeepers'. Luckily I was harnessed
in, particularly for the moment we did a naughty dive by and got a
little g-force. G-Force makes you want to puke, that bit is NOT
exciting, well except for the bit when the QM2 captain told us off for
dive-bombing too close! Teehee! "
Her photo was on the front page of the 'Northern Star'
