it is funny that i am excited about it. i used to have tons of my pics in papers everywhere in my former profession/life.
i guess it is jsut because of the glorious feeling you get from making a picture youself, just for the free-spirited and unbound pleasure that characterizes amateur photography as opposed to professional photography. And for the editors to accept my photo with joy instead of the good old whining and ego-struggling i was so used to back in the day..

my photo made it to the paper today. the local peasants and merchants praised my ability to capture a phenomenon in a way people would remember it, not as they have actually seen it.
just a few SMS, emails and phonecalls, just spontaneous,
no bafta's, d&add's, dahlia's, dandies or daffodills.jsut nice honest compliments.
i am meaningless, yet fullfilled with good vibes.

I'm finally getting my new broadband next month. I'll be able to get back to normal - wasting my life on here trying to figure out exactly what it is I actually do.
Good times.

D&AD Awards
-----------------------ok well my pay didn't go up 40K.
it was a good night tho, Stephen Fry was the host and he was brillliant but then he is isn't he? the food was delicious, much better than the BAFTAs dahling where "Interactive" is still a secret shame, the poor geeky kid brother of real arts like Film and Television, no the D&ADs were cool, more of the actual creatives go, creatives like me, yeah baby that's right.
I was up against a company i'd been made redundant from as a lowly web-designer years before, they had loads of designers for their project but I was the only one on my project and BEATING them single-handedly felt good ahahhaaaa!
later i met Steve Jobs – ok i was very drunk and basically i accosted him in front of Jonathan Ive – i waved my D&AD pencil in Job's eye and demanded a photo with him, slurring LOOK LOOK I WON AN AWARD!! like an embarrassing git and he said Yes i know i saw you, so then i died of meet-one-of-your-idols admiration and ran away downstairs to play table football with some lovely bearded scandinavian MTV designers who said they'd tried the same thing with Jobs and he'd said No sorry i'm not working tonight, so then i was all chuffed but also secretly worried i'd just been hit on by a very old man whom i disturbingly found quite attractive just because he seemed so POWERFUL, god we really are just animals sniffing out alphas aren't we?
