[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Many of the photographers on TrekEarth are fickle and uncreative in mind...with little or no sence of humour what so ever!! Thats just my 2 cents worth! Charge it please. Thank you very much!








"Camelman" by definition. One of the great masters of his time...

And I think the term ‘Camel-man’ is origionally based on the old 80's add campaign for Camel cigarettes with the branded model, a dark smouldering rugged man with a strong stubbled jaw line who lived life on the edge permanently lighting up a smoke in the most picturesque of locations...yes, that was before cigarette ad campaignes became illegal of course and his rumoured premature death due to lung cancer. I was a child at the time.

Sorry guys, I think this is one of those you either just get or you don't.

On second thoughts...he actually looks like he is keeping a watchful beady eye as his two mates on the left help themselves to some poor soul's beans.

hello Tamarin,
a smiley for your opening lines. Are you the little child who shouted that the emperor had no clothes?

Great quick grabshot - love the expression of this wheeler-and-dealer, and the overall atmosphere. Grainyness is a plus. As far as your note, I can only say:

1. never forget the rule of thirds ;-)
2. never have the character look outside the image, only inside the image ;-)
