Qatar

I shot this picture yesterday for Qatar Telecommuncations. But the reason i find this picture so captivating is that working here in doha truly feels like this. its been 6 years now since ive been here. and i have more bad work experiences than good ones. but i always looked at it as lessons learned. In hindsight im glad the experiences were so painful.

Anyhows.

In qatar nobody really cares. As long as the money is in the bank everything else is just secondary. Right now in qatar 60% of the billboards and out door stuff has my photography on it. For the last month every newspaper has at least 1 of my photography in it. Worked on the Asian Games ticket campaign. so if u see a ticket advert for the asian games its probably mine. In any other country it would be quite a big deal. but in qatar its still secondary. Its how much money ive made out of all this thats more intersting to people than the fact that i did the dam work.

this is why the picture makes soo much sense to me. I might as well be working in the middle of the desert somewhere, but as long as i have the money in the bank, id keep smiling staring at the computer screen... like monkeys in a cage. we get our food. we scratch our heads, we throw shit around. in the end of the day we keep smiling at the world that passes by outside our cage.





Recently i had partnered up with grey worldwide to handle all their photography. was busy so no blogging. But the projects are over and im back to typing words at a computer screen. will put up the pics soon. some funny, some just silly. we also stuffed a ferarri with food till it overflowed. will explain everything shortly. its good to be back.......
