D.A.,
While living in London, I began to follow rugby quite often; I even worked out with a local team. They seemed to enjoy my “American tackles.” We would go to the pub and watch matches, especially the Six Nations, if I recall correctly. I loved it, but when I got back home, Texas, it completely fell off the radar, and I have almost 400 channels! As you are obviously better acquainted with the sport, do we (U.S.A.) even have a team that can compete w/ the Irish, Kiwis, Aussies, etc.?
D.and South Africans…
You do have a team… not the best, not the worst…
interesting bit of trivia is that the USA are the current Olympic Rugby Champions… yes it is true… the last time Rugby was played as an Olympic sport was in 1924, and the USA won…
Ahh, but both the Wallabie’s and the Kiwi’s have to come here (South Africa)for a game or 2… let’s see the Ausie smiling when they get hammered by the Bok’s…
Great game though, really did well to hold the All-Blacks in the second half…
Did you enjoy watching us beat them at the House of Payne(sp)???

On the Natal south coast, you have to cross railway tracks to get to the beach, there are places where there are bridges, but to the most, you have to cross the tracks. The tracks are’nt electified, but the overhead cable is…
I have seen some crazy things happen to rods as they touch that line…
How the hell do you do that, I thought it was a good photo to start…
However… I think the final product looks to PS’ed, leave the lights in, and the stone on the grass, that brings that small town look and feel…
Great work though…
Yeh, WELCOME…
Your stuff is good, and dont let anyone tell you other wise…
And you dont have to go back to those other sites…
It was deer season, and I had a knife. I hate to waste meat.

I know that I’m not real good at this, but it is worth a bash…
A certain Mr. Foxworth said something about knowing how to skin road-kill and being some thing; can’t remember that something though…
This is an interesting debate…
I think it depends on where you are in your career, business and life…
It is difficult to get your name out there without publicity, which sometimes means you have to sacrifice profit for progress. But then you still need to own the rights to that work, without the ownership of the picture you defeating you goals…
I think the two well educated guys, either by being a Lawyer, or by in business… (guys great comments) have made some very valid points, I would manage the opportunity… if it not from someone you know is reputable, then take decisive action.
I gave away all my pictures from my last trip to a magazine, to use as they please, I know them all well, they are good friends and stuff, but they signed a little document that entitles me to have my name associated to every photo, and in the unlikely event that they would be sold, to any royalties.
I got some of them published…Remember that we (in South Africa) are seldom paid for photo, article or submissions to any of the local magazines, well unsolicited ones. So how do become a solicited write or photographer, if you don’t get out there and get publicity. Lets see what happens…
