I need to talk about something that really is starting to annoy me. This whole year we have been getting mails about entering contests. of course there are a few that really bring you your exposure and a slight amount of fame. But most of them don't bring you anything. They only bring the organisation your money. 10 USD up to 150 USD for just entering your photo in the competition. And what do you get when you win? 1500 USD and a publication in a their own book which of course you get for free but will be sold worldwide to others. Think about 1000 entries a 50 USD and it is very simple mathematics to see who really wins the contest. Only one time I entered myself and the result would be known next week. But it seems they have not raised enough money from the contestants ... [ Read more... ]

I look for contest that join for free, mostly are reliable organization like Nikon canon unesco and many other 100. There are some contest join for free when they selected your picture for standing out and try to sale you many product on your own picture before final contest.
Good luck.

Dear Dimitry, please do not turn my words, which I choose carefully, around. I am not saying that all contests are frauds. This blog is only about those who are and they are becoming more and more and more. Read the second half of the second sentence ******************of course there are a few that really bring you your exposure and a slight amount of fame.****************************
The percentage of frauds is rising very very fast but I am not suggesting they all are my friend. - posted by

Wish me luck you all. I am now leaving for the Dutch Chamber of Commerce to get myself a commerce number to make DNF-Style an official company. Tax bureau is next.

Earlier I wrote a small blogmessage about me going to myself a, so called, chamber of commerce number so I can start doing business with DNF-Style. Well.............. I didn't. Why? As some know I have just been laid of buy the company I worked for, but since I worked there for 8 years they are paying me till February 5th and after that I will have rights to unemployment money (2 months 70% and 12 months 70%of that same 70% of my last earned wages. Well guess what, If i get a chamber of commerce number before I am enlisted for unemployment money, I won't get anything. I have to make sure I get that money first and then tell them I am starting my own business so they will support me. Else they will say, you do not need money you have your won business. So...I can'... [ Read more... ]

Hi Frenk, I feel your pain. But I think this is common practice in the world. Look at the bright side. You will have won 14 months of building a strong clientele that will provide you with lots of referrals when you start officially your studio. Good luck and look ahead. - posted by

This weekend we'll be off for three days of relaxing in a wellness hotel in one of the most beautiful surroundings of Europe when it comes to forestry. Schwarzwald Germany. We are hoping for some snow to be able to make some nice photo's.

Ofcourse if ayone needs to upload their Christmas pics they are probably too late. It is time to think about valentine and the Easter bunny. But how about snow pics? Is it too late for that also. Is it time for summershots already? What do you think?

As soon as the Santa Uniforms are put away, a lot of images of winter holidays in the sun show up. Spring and summer images are needed now for print ads and other uses that have long lead times. But its not too late for snow either as we still have months of snowy weather. Generally you will find that spring and summer images tend to have more uses than snow themed pcitures. - posted by

Whaha, our cats came in, a few days ago, soaking wet. Since this morning I know why. I got out of bed and looked outside to see a little pool of water next to our neighbors house. Well, I thought, the snow is gone, here's the mud. When I turn around, to make myself a nice cup of good morning coffee, I realize I hear water running. I look outside a second time and notice it is running our of the corners of our neighbors house. A closer look and I see it is not a small pool but a big one ;-) After calling the authorities we find a house where it is raining inside. What happened. The occupants were people from Poland who came to Belgium to work but left for Poland to spend Christmas with their family. The forgot the freeze we were expecting this week. This freeze made their ... [ Read more... ]
