The Sydney Crew - POTN Club...

tristan or leitch
i have a question for either of you, i know both of you have delt with [r]evo. i sent them an email about a week ago . inquiring about how i go with getting some pics printed in there mag n all that .

i was wondering just how long did they take to get back to you?

i didnt send them any pics for proof as i was just inquiring should i write again and send some pics with it?

let us know what you think

cheers

JT is pretty rubbish with admin side of things. In fact, they are (on a whole) pretty lax all round. I still haven't been paid for the last issue and have had no response from the accounts division after a series of emails.

Basically what you're going to want to do is send some low-resolution proofs to JT, or he just won't bother replying. Don't expect a super quick response - basically, if he likes what he sees he'll contact you sometime before the next issue goes to print and ask for fullres copies of the files. If/when he does, make it explicit from the get-go that you expect payment, because otherwise he'll walk on you.

As far as content of images goes, it's probably advisable to send some shots that have some context - a state round race, etc - photos of you just out with your mates riding are unlikely to get published because there's no story they can mate them with.

I probably sound pretty bitter where [R]evo are concerned.. At the moment I still am

yeh sweet i read that tristan had the same deal. sorry to hear that.

i pretty much ask'd straight up what they pay . im not going to let this happen.
also said that if he wants i can send a med size water mark'd file . but now i might just send another email and some pics with it .

i have pics form the ourimbah n awaba combined round and thought they might be good for the state pages? or some other page?
anyways thanks for the advice . hope you get your money soon.

cheers

Not very confidence boosting Andrew . I'm shooting with Sam on thursday for a little article hes doing for Revo. For the tracks in the Gong.

House shopping? Where abouts are you looking?

Different topic: I'm having this mega-frustrating time trying to organise my upcoming 9 month trip to Europe. Hitting up London, Paris, Italy (Val Di Sol, Downhill World Champs, shooting of course, if I can organise myself), Croatia, Germany (Oktoberfest), Greece, Austria (Schladming, again for Downhill World Cup, shooting) etc etc.. and it's so damn difficult to get everything working properly!

I guess this is what I get for leaving it late...

London's over-rated. I've been here for 5 years now, and it's been 5 years too long.

I'm guessing she doesn't read POTN?

ehe I don't think my GF even knows this place exists...

Neither does mine, although I don't have a bad word to say about her.

I'm not planning to stay in London for more than the required time (ie, the amount of time I have to visit my relatives for...), and plan to spend more time in Belgium, Amsterdam, Prague, Paris, and all over Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania...

I made my first visit to Sydney last January and was greatly impressed.
What a ferry boat service!
Took the ferry in from Parramata at sunrise and all that jazz.
Made my photog buddy, a Nikon fella, feel like a tourist in his own town. Had a blast.
Hotter than Hades.
My big shock was the amount of security cameras.
We cant afford the war on terror here.
cheers and beers

I lived in sydney for a bit 16yrs ago. Lived by the beach at Curl Curl and worked at Manley High School.

Love to go back and have a look around again....with camera.
Still remember going for a walk in some bush in bare feet then thinking...This is not new Zealand they have posionous things here
The surf was very different to NZ much more punch to it, but we dont have signs saying polluted water ......well we do now.

War on terror = war on freedom. Convenient really.

Nice of you to drop in on us. Stay longer next time

THX! Made it to Canberra, Batemans Bay and back up.
Ive still got stuff to edit from my trip, Im a little behind in my editing...
Dont get me going on the terrorists, Im with Michael Moore on that one.
I made it to Brizzy a couple of years ago on a job for Air NZ.
Itsa gorgeous place too.
