people who expect photographers to give everything and charge next to nothing.

It's really damaging - the amount of people who undercharge or do shit 'for their folio' (for free) one too many times.

It's ok for a while. We've all done it.

But now, so many people expect you to give too much for what they pay, and they're not paying much. Either because they're scummy or can't tell the difference between a stale turd and a good image.

Or... both.

So guys... know what you're worth and charge accordingly.

I dont see myself saying 'yes' to work from this client again.

Otherwise, I'm great. I'm off to Melbourne town for a week to continue work on my gallery project.

I'll be missing a couple people up in Brisbane... don't wanna be too sappy... anyone wanna grab a beer? does anyone who reads this live in Melbourne?

I'm staying in the city so.. Brunswick and Chapel Streets are close. two fav hangouts.

all the best.

cheers,

does anyone still read this? I guess I never post.

I'll make anything available as a print if anyone wants... just ask. more than happy.

Lets go to New York.

All the best.

Yes. But now we start CHRISTMAS RETAIL, oh joy and good tidings and monies to all.

most importantly the monies.

i thought we were going through a recession..!

recession? bah! to hell with "economic crisis"!

What this all means, by the way, is that i've kinda finished uni for the year, and that most of my other commitments and... responsibilities.... *shudder*.... are complete/finished/expired/passed on...

"this is an EX-PARROT!"

yes...

but then, people want to buy things! always.

who was this jesus guy anyway?!

hope you are all well, try not to buy too much and remember that a gift is better the less you payed for it, and the more you care about it.

in other news, i got the new macbook pro. and i just booked flights to melbourne for january, after the glorious consumer xmas madness. oh look, that two faced morgan is at it again buying shit and complaining about consumer culture!

ah well. at least i've never lost my usb cable/battery charger (90% of enquiries at my work)

remember to take photos in the holiday time. like this, by ~noahlee

this is one of my all time ever loved images on this place.

hope this finds you all well.

up rather late, at 9ish.

emails.

skated to Tim Page's place for half ten. spoke for an hour.

meeting with a friend at 1. on the way, received a wrong number/prank "if you call this number again, you'll be fucking murdered".

lovely!

get off the train, see a policeman, chat with him for a bit about said phone call. "serious business".

coffee with tess was fantastic.

uni, three fantastic short docos on some amazing stuff. cool footage of Trent Parke and Narelle Autio shooting around martin place... beautiful stuff.

then shot on set of my mates new film, nothing spectacular, they're still pretty much in pre prod.

and then shot a reading at metro arts.

shot street before the last bus. in this time i met some cool people, gave 2 dollars to some skank who i noticed about 20 mins. later really didn't need said 2 dollars, however i have a picture of her asking a lovely old man for money (my condition for my initial donation, that i could follow her plight at half ten in queen street).

so....

her fucking loss

now... editing through the audio from the convo with Mr Page.

now that it's friday, later today ill go to the lab, the framing place, uni, work and then shoot more theatre and THEN go OUT!

yes.

so when are holidays?

i want to lock myself in a darkroom with lounge music and about 20 rolls. make contacts and then do some of this b+w shit that is waiting... waiting...

cheers,

morgs
