This time last year (March 2009) I ventured off and purchased a motor home. The Plan being, to completely rebuild the beast and travel the country for a few years. However, 12 months on, I find myself browsing multi-million dollar estates on a daily basis. Not quite according to plan, and maybe even a little bit abstract at times, but most definitely not what I envisioned just one year ago.

With the bus gobbling up all my spare cash, a new relationship, sudden need for cash flow, meant I was back on the dole cue looking for an income. However, being focused on photography and music of late guided me toward looking for work within the industry I was actually interested in working.

Then late one night, whilst supervising a complete system backup, I discovered an ad online for a Real estate Photographer. And since I’ve had not one reply from a seek.com application, thought nothing of it.
To cut a long story short, I received a call the next day and have been working at Vivid Productions, a hi end real estate Production company in Brisbane, ever since. Not your usual real estate photography mind you, we produce hi quality professionally executed video and photography for properties where the simple happy snap image won’t cut it.

The bonus is, I still have plenty of time during the week to continue writing and playing tracks with my good mates, continuing with live music photography and Band Promos (which are booking up quickly), and spending heaps of time with Rosanna, while still making a decent living. An Ideal situation perhaps ?

The moral of the story… if you want to do something, do it, if you want to be somewhere go there, and if someone tells you “don’t get your hopes up” ignore it.. FOCUS… and it will happen, and probably right when you least expect it.
