My Little Piece of Heaven On Earth

Thanks Tony. So far it's still up at the site. When I approached the owner of Fame and Fortune for the payment that was promised me, I was told that they'll take it down instead. They haven't paid me and the other photographer, Rene Gaviola for about a year.

That's the trouble about the magazine industry business here in the Philippines. They want you to take the shots as well as Jun de Leon or Raymund Isaac or...even as well as Master Jay himself, but will only pay you a pittance for your trouble (they might even haggle down your price with the promise of a lot of future projects) and then they always want it yesterday. On top of that, they will only pay you 30 days (if you're lucky) from the time the magazine is either published or printed. Photographers here in the Philippines get no or little respect

I'm seriously thinking of making a blog of it and/or write a review on the owner of the Fame and Fortune Magazine just to show how we, the photograpers, are being oppressed by the owners of the publication industry.
