This is evil. This is positively evil. I feel like I’m being used here.
As the Editor of [url=http://chimp.d70users.net/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=42]Chimp[/url], I’m responsible for writing articles, doing layouts, putting it together and making it actually work. Sure, we have writers and photographers, but ultimately since we don’t have any designers or layout people, it’s my call for how the magazine looks and works as a digital publication (we’re not published yet… if you’d like to help in getting us published, please contact me immediately).
Anyway, as a publication, we’re allowed to give out media passes so people can shoot photos at various events provided they let us use an image or two as well as a small write-up on a said event in Chimp.
At the moment, I’m working on getting two of our international photographers accreditation for the A1 Grand Prix (of which I’ll comment on later on and whose Australian press photographer section seems made up mostly of people who are less press than just amateurs from an equipment point of view).
My Dad has accreditation, however, for this years’ [url=http://www.bluesfest.com.au/lineup2007.html]Byron Blues Festival[/url].
The line-up includes Dave Matthews, Ben Harper, John Mayer, Gomez, The Roots, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Robben Ford… I mean… what the fuck?!
My Dad just writes a publishers’ comment in the thing. He doesn’t edit it! Why the fuck is he getting accredited and all I get to do is GET people accredited. I swear. This entire thing is bullshit.
