But wait. There's more.
No sweat Ashleigh.
I have posted this innthe newsletter notes ting as I figured that was the place to put it, but add it her as it is tied in with the self promotion machine thing some.
I did the photos for the Dare To Wear Ball where people design, make and wear stange clothes while performing a dance routine.
This gig has been going for about four years and gets more venturesome all the time.
I had planned on not going this year but the music club which was providing the music asked me if I would come and take some shots of the bands working. I said OK.
The Arts council then asked me if i could come earlier and do the shots of the Annual arts awards and Dare To Wear as well.
Was busy clicking away during the awards which was first cab off the rank , when i heard a spiel which sounded a lot like stuff I had done and sure enough. Bloody Music club had nominated me for the Music Industry Award.
That explained why the regular press photographer I was told couldn't get there was in fact clicking away. In the second best spot in the house i may add because i got the top spot first.
That's OK. it realy made my night as i don'r see i do any more than a lot of other music people in town.
Being not actually a muso getting it was a real boost for me because i often feel i don't really fit in to the real muso catogory.
Got home and checked SCALA web site because the FOOM awards were annoubcd last night also.
And. Come The Morrow had managed a Commended Award. My first mention ever in an International award.
So now when I notify Radio West of my postal adress so they can send me the flash pub freebie for the first bit of luck, I can tell them all the other stuff, and while doing so give them the details of the awards winners and results of the dare to wear trick too.
So little old Esperance gets a bit of a plug on statewide radio.
And me along with it.
That's my idea of effective self promotion JPFolks.
Everybody involved gets something out of it.
Regards.
Graham
