The road ahead for Joe Mortelliti
by Darren StonesBy Darren Stones Our friend Joe Mortelliti...
By Darren Stones Our friend Joe Mortelliti is scheduled to be admitted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Monday 22 October 2007 for two rounds of chemotherapy treatment in readiness for a bone marrow transplant. On Tuesday 30 October 2007, Joe is scheduled for a bone marrow transplant at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Joe’s bone marrow donor is his brother. Joe Mortelliti – August 2007 Many of you are aware of Joe’s battle with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia during 2007, and it’s reached a point where his doctors have strongly recommended he undergo further treatment to help secure his long-term health. Early this week, Joe had two days of tests on his vital organs, blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy. Joe will be in hospital for approximately five weeks and isolated due to a risk of infection. He will then be moved into units located near the hospital provided by the Leukaemia Foundation where Marion and he can stay together. Approximately every two days, Joe will undergo further tests, monitoring and be given support for a few hours. This will continue until February 2008, when he is due to return home to Geelong. Bone marrow transplants are generally not offered to people over 55 due to the severity of the treatment on ageing bodies. Joe has recently turned 57, so he acknowledges he’s been given a special opportunity. Joe informs that a bone marrow transplant has risks, but provides a cure from leukaemia. Joe has remained positive throughout and retained his sense of humour in such trying times. He has proudly continued to support and encourage his peers. He was recently invited by fellow RedBubble and PassionForPixels member Mark Ingram to supply photographs to his specialist stock library. Joe has more outback roads to travel and numerous photographs to take. He and his wife Marion are determined to live their lives together to the full. Joe and Marion would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has expressed wonderful support via e-mail throughout their first journey. As Joe and Marion prepare for their second journey, it’s their precious children, family and friends, and friends they have not yet met who help them to go ahead one small step at a time, one day at a time. Joe’s extensive portfolio of images can be viewed and purchased at RedBubble.com http://www.redbubble.com/people/mortelliti I’d like you to join me in expressing best wishes to Joe and Marion, and the Mortelliti family. Thank you.

Sorry folks, I can’t help myself – feeling happy. Just received my final assessment for my Freelance Photography course with Thomson Education Direct – it was an A. I achieved ten straight A’s for the course and I’m rapt. I didn’t take an easy way out when doing my assignments. I did more than required and that has been recognised by my tutor. I’ve just commenced the Professional Freelance Journalism course with Thomson Education Direct, and to date it looks very interesting. Time for a glass or two of bubbly. Cheers.

As I enjoyed my cappocino and fiddled with my Bronica Zenza 6×6 (80mm f2.8) camera, I noticed this interesting character. The man sat there almost motionless. I motioned to him if it was ok for me to take the photo and he seemed to agree. I had to guess the exposure as I didn’t have my light metre out of my bag. The exposure came out fine (F2.8, 1/60th) and the focus is not bad considering the medium format and how clumsy the camera is in street photography. I processed the negative myself and scanned the image in on a Nikon film scanner. I have left the edge of the negative as it frames the image well and it appeals to my purist tendacies. This is one of my fravorite examples of my documentary work, it makes me think of how times have changed and how society changes and some people feel they can’t keep up.

Here in the RedBubble office we’ve been loving the range of your work and your diverse backgrounds. Some of you are studying, others are creative professionals, some have just stumbled across creative skills and passions after years working in other fields, and others are becoming so addicted to your creative hobbies they are starting to take over! Do you wish you’d backed your creative talents earlier in your life and career? Or do you think it is better to build up a solid backup plan and then explore your creative potential once you have established some security? As Edith Piaf would sing “non je ne regrette rien” – regret nothing – but what advice would you give your kids? Chase the dream 100% or nurture the hobby?

Safety For Models
by Jo O'BrienThe nature of modeling for photographers and artists puts you in a vulnerable position. For a length of time you will be in close proximi…
The nature of modeling for photographers and artists puts you in a vulnerable position. For a length of time you will be in close proximity to an individual you may not know very well and in unfamiliar or isolated environments. For the first time model, or even an experienced model, a job offer can be very exciting. But first, take a few minutes to think about your safety. / Put your best foot forward – Jo O’Brien Your Online Identity / While the vast majority of people you meet online are perfectly normal, lovely people such as yourself, there are a few people who are unstable or dangerous. To reduce your chances of ever encountering a shady character, prevention is the best solution. Be aware of the images you publish of yourself. They should look professional and unless you are seeking work in the adult industry, should not be overly sexual. While details like your measurements and colouring may be required, personal details or contact details should be hidden. Contact Details / Don’t use your real name online, and don’t publish your telephone number or an email address where possible. There are easy to use forms you can add to your website that will allow interested parties to contact you without publishing your email address. Where an email address must be supplied, it is a good idea to set up a secondary one using a free site like hotmail, gmail or yahoo especially for this purpose. The only place you should ever need to supply a physical address is on a model release form on the day of the shoot. Where possible use a P.O Box address or the address of a family member (with permission). Always give out your mobile number instead of a land line number and let the photographer know you do not answer calls if you do not recognise the number. / Behind the scenes – Skyrocket Fights Clip – ARPhotography Find Out About The Photographer Or Artist / Before you agree to work with a photographer or artist there are some simple checks you can do to help you verify if they are professional and trustworthy. The first is to ask for a full physical address and telephone number where they can be contacted. Ask to see samples of their work and ask some general questions about how they like to work. Ask for referees from other models they have used and take the time to call a couple of people and ask them about how their shoot/session went. If the photographer or artist is reluctant to hand over such information, you should reconsider working with them. A professional will be happy to offer you these details. At this stage you should also be weary of overly optimistic promises about your modeling career or unusually high pay rates which could indicate a scam. Also be aware that TFP (Time for Prints/Photos) and particularly low pay may indicate an amature photographer. Be aware that there are scam artists who ask models to pay for services that are never fulfilled. Know What Is Expected Of You / Before you agree to a shoot or session, discuss the artist’s ideas and make sure you fully understand what is required of you. In particular ask about what you will be wearing (or not wearing) and the kind of tone or theme they are hoping to achieve. Who will be doing your hair and make up. Ask to see reference shots or sketches or see examples of what they are hoping to replicate. If you feel that they are not answering you fully, it is a good idea to clarify, even if you feel you are asking the obvious. For example say “I don’t understand exactly what you’re saying- do you mean that there will be nudity involved?” or “It sounds like this is pornographic work- am I right?” By being blunt and showing that you are not afraid to ask, it will encourage the artist to explain clearly what they want from you. Now is also a good time to ask if they will be shooting digital and if you will be able to see a few images during the shoot as you proceed. / Shoot the model – Michael Alesich How To Say No / At this point you may decide that you do not want to proceed. No matter how much time and effort the photographer or artist has gone to at this point, or how much they insist that they want you, your rights, safety and professional reputation come first. Be polite but firm. Do not get into a lengthy discussion. A response such as “Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to discuss this project with me. Unfortunately it is not a project I wish to do (at this time). Thank you again for your interest” should be sufficient. Traveling and Accomodation / Where possible arrange your own transport, the best option being a friend who will drive you and wait for the shoot to be completed before taking you home again. Do not accept offers to be collected from your home or work. If you need to stay overnight, arrange to have your own hotel room, ensure your room is booked under your name and check it before your departure. Never ever ever stay at the private residence of someone you do not know very well. When away from home travel by taxi. / The Movie Set – Michael Alesich Meeting the Photographer or Artist / Meet new photographers for the first time in a neutral public location. Never in a private residence or studio. The best meeting places are known to you both but neither of you have any special attachments or familiarity with it. In an instance where you want to avoid this person in the future, you do not want them to know your favorite cafe or hang out. Be suspicious if the location of a meet up or shoot changes shortly before meeting. This is one way that untrustworthy people attempt to get models alone where their friends and family do not know where they are. A photographer should have previously scouted a location and be able to give an address or map reference. In isolated areas, always bring a chaperone. Just Prior to a Shoot or Session / To ensure your safety, contact the photographer or artist and confirm the time, duration and place of the shoot. Even if you are bringing a chaperone, tell someone else who is not coming with you where you will be and for how long. Ask them to have their mobile switched on during your shoot. Some models wisely arrange a ‘silent alarm.’ For example you might arrange for this person to call you mid shoot and ask you what you are doing later on. If you answer “I’m having a quiet one with friends” they will know everything is good, if you say “my boyfriend is taking me to dinner” they will know you are nervous and if you say “I’m going out with my friends to party” that you need them to act to get you out of there. You should never need to complete a model release form before the day of a shoot but it is a good idea to read through a copy of it and understand it or arrange to use your own version. / Working for the Man by Melissa Vowell During The Shoot or Session / There is certain professional etiquette that is expected of all parties at a photo shoot. Don’t be convinced to pose in a way that you are unsure of or uncomfortable in. If you are asked to do something you are unsure of it is perfectly acceptable to say you do not want to. One tip is to bring along your own happy snap digital camera. If you are asked to do something you are not sure of, hand the photographer your camera and ask them to take one or two shots and show you first. Then you can check them before proceeding. In the days of digital, is is fairly reasonable on small shoots to ask to flick through the images briefly during a break or at the end of the shoot. If you have brought a chaperone, ensure they are not disruptive to the shoot with the obvious exception being if they see anything below board. Apologize for the inconvenience but leave your mobile phone switched on. After The Shoot / Model release forms should always be completed after the shoot, often on the same day or when you have viewed and approved the proofs or contact sheet. Never sign anything you do not understand. Some models who represent themselves bring along their own model release form which they know and understand well. Once the shoot is completed, within earshot of the photographer, it is a good move to call a friend and let them know you are leaving and how long until you get home. / Lorne ‘07 – Happy Snapping – James Price What to do if you are Harassed or Stalked? / The first thing to do is tell someone else about it- your friends and family. When you are stressed, having these people to support you will make a lot of difference to your ability to think clearly and make assertive decisions. If the person is sending you letters, emails, text messages or any other correspondence it is important that you keep it even if it is upsetting. The general advice given by police is not to feed the harasser by reacting, instead ignoring their attempts to upset you. If after a couple of weeks they have not relented or they make a serious threat against you, you should call your local police and seek advice and support. Many people are reluctant to bring the police into these sorts of matters however it is the only real way to help prevent other people falling victim and your testimony may be the case winner for another person who has already suffered the same as you. All this information sounds very pessimistic and negative and I really wish their was no need for it. The reality is that most photographers and artists are above board, professional and generally lovely to work with, but the tiny minority create enough horror stories and bad press that it’s important to know the risks. In all situations my best advice to you is to use your common sense, and trust any negative gut instincts you have about people. Your safety is far more important than any career opportunity and any amount of popularity or validation. / Lights Camera Action by Jo O’Brien

THE ACADEMICS OF ART and the AMATEUR PERSPECTIVE

Hi, Inspired by recent events I wanted to throw this out there for opinion. You know the saying, “everyone’s a comedian”? Well some may say that about artists, “everyone’s an artist”... but are they really?... Art is art and I am sick of debating what art actually is cause we all know it’s what you make it … What I would like to debate today is: Just cause you can make it, is it worthy of displaying it?... Is there a place for critical analysis of the self here on RedBubble? You may think it’s cool, they may think it’s cool but what does the ACADEMIC ARTIST have to say… Do you believe that ART should be taught and if so why then do so many amateurs get very protective and poignant when they are alerted to certain perspectives and vice versa… What is a professional artist? ... What is an amateur artist? BY THE WAY THAT INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHERS… I mean, just cause Andy Warhole did a gozillion paintings, did he choose to sell them all??? Or only the ‘good’ ones? Was what was ‘good’ change according to the perception and acclaim received after finding fame with early works? Please consider these blogs when responding… GRAPHIC DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY and Why Artists Hate Photographers 101 Hypocrites and Casualties Thnx for listening…

By Darren Stones Hi friends. Some of you may be aware I recently enrolled in the Cengage Education (formerly Thomson Education Direct) Professional Freelance Journalism correspondence course under the tutelage of, Simon Townsend. I’ve completed the first of 16 assignments for the course and received my grading for it. I achieved an A Grade, and that surpasses my expectations. Simon Townsend has provided me with an enormous amount of information and advice in his first correspondence, and he goes on to state “email me 10 times a day if you wish (I’m not kidding).” One of the reasons I enrolled in this course was to tap into the knowledge and experience of Simon. He’s been there – done that, in Australia, and done it successfully for over four decades. He comes across as a passionate man and one who is willing to share his vast knowledge. To those who have assisted me in recent times – a big thanks. I’ll continue to do my best to promote as time permits, due to my new and exciting direction. Also, a special mention to my sponsors for the course. Thank you for your support. Cheers and happy days folks. Cattle Drive: The Henry Lawson Way, New South Wales, Australia.
