Dream Assignment !

Ok, you've just gotten off the phone with a major publicist, (they randomnly picked your name from the internet:rolleyes:) and they want to send you on an assignment, all expenses paid, the only catch is you get to decide what it is........so.........what's your dream assignment ?
(is it a fashion shoot with Lady GAGA, a portrait session with a hero of your choice(dead or alive:eek:, maybe Einstein!), a trip to Antartica, etc etc)

i've done mine already, travel around on a tour bus with a big band who are playing sell out shows and documenting the process whilst having a whole pile of rock and roll type fun.

would like to do it for longer, in more exotic countries and be paid to do it though

in saying that, am off to spain next week to travel around shooting an indie band on their european tour. if only i could figure out a way of doing it that made me rich

Even if we're dreaming here, I think I'd take Tigers or Lions or Polar Bears over Lady GaGa.................

Antigua with Andre Phillip. Maybe a couple of the other Cabrinha guys as well including up and coming Alberto Rondina (who I have photographed before). Slider park stuff, definitely and some wave stuff.

Wouldn't mind a trip to the Triple S in Hatteras as well. Carolina is a bit hard to get to though although I must see what the closest airport is. This year might be the year.

Also wouldn't mind a trip to the Cocos Islands off Australia.

Despite the landscape and the lighthouses, clearly I still dig kite photography more than any. If it's still bright around 4.30 I might trip back down to Dolly if I can find the monopod (it's missing at the moment).

Dude, I've a shopping list full of kitesurfers I want in my gallery. But Andre is top of the list. Seriously.

South East Asia for me, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos... would be great if I could get someone to pay for it

No, Pearl Jam and Alice in chains are still going, both have had new studio albums out just before Christmas. Only thing, Layne Staley is gone [RIP] from AiC, but the band remains the same, just with a new singer.

Notice I didn't add in Nirvana and Soundgarden, because they are split, and the whole suicide thing

An all expenses paid expedition to Iraq, or Israel or some place like that to do a Hard hitting truth documentary look at whats going on there.

I love photographing any wedding, and weddings really are my dream jobs.

But speaking of a dream job, I woke up one night after a mad dream that I had been contacted to photograph Prince Charles and whats her name getting married, they wanted low key so wanted an unkown to cover the day. At the end of the day they gave me permission to sell to hello and I got millions. Now that would really be a dream job.
