Which reminds me...

My brother is looking for a reasonably priced wedding photographer who will allow them to keep the negatives without paying an exorbitant amount. Does anyone know anyone? Victorian location preferred, as they'd need a pretty good zoom lens to take the pictures if they were interstate, and an even better one if they were intercontinental.

 

[Southy]

Isn't that stupid how the fuckers wantyou to pay shitloads for negatives they aregonna toss away anyhoo

 

[phlogiston]

They've found that most will give them the negatives, but only after a year, and then they have to pay for them.

 

[Southy]

Yeah why do they need 'em for?? bastards

 

[Winmar]

Looking forward to seeing some pics!

You getting married Phlog?

 

[Mark]

Phloggy, a photography student might be able to help... they're usually looking for experience, and something for their portfolio, and I doubt they'd be really picky about that kinda thing (unless they're super anal...)

Phloggy there are a few Australian based wedding sites, I'll see if I can remember the names for you and I'll post the links here - most of them have directories. The wedding mags only tend to cover the really fancy pants guys, but what Mark says is actually a good point. Finding out where the local colleges are and asking around there or putting notes up is always good - photography students will normally do some weddings to earn a little money. Failing all of that do what we did - get your mates to do it.

Just get a disposable camera and do it yourself Phloggy. I cant believe I had to point that out to you

 

[phlogiston]

Spawn: thought of that. The suggestion was rejected.
Mark: thought of that. I've suggested they go to the local TAFE or something and ask around.
Dreamy: thanks, those links would be good.
Winmar: read my post again.

 

[spawn]

Maybe it was rejected because it was you saying it, let them know Spawny suggested it, im sure they will come around

 

[Winmar]

Oh, your brother. Funny how much of a difference one word makes. Like saying "I smell" instead of "I smell bacon".

 

[Southy]

yes winmar you do smell, sorry I was too embarrassed to tell ya

 

[spawn]

You are so eloquent and sensitive Southy

 

[Winmar]

With compliments like that........
