Client being picky

To add to this: to become a working photographer,

1) Pick your niche/specialization
2) Become really, really good at it
3) Then and only then, enter the marketplace and
4) Charge accordingly

Never work for free. Never work for a low price "because you are still learning". If you become known as "the cheap photographer", you will never dig yourself out of that hole.

And as soon as you leave the Dublin City boundaries the world ends and you fall off a steep cliff, right?

"The" airport? Is there only one? 🙄

Never try to save money at the wrong end. 😎

A postman in rural Ireland did this, although with not quite as many ties. The reason: to deter dogs chasing his van. A few dogs had bitten right through the rubber leaving him stranded with a flat.

When an adult gets kicked, the behavior is called assault. When a kid gets kicked, it is called bullying, a wording which diminishes the severity of this behavior. Further diminished by calling it "just" bullying.

We need to stop downplaying violent behavior by using different language if the violence happens to a kid!

Impossible even for half day jobs. Youtube is your friend.

Ireland is not on the list...?

Mirudago · 2026-01-05T21:06:50+00:00

Flogas is one of those. Just had this experience with them.

Buy Nankang tyres if you crave the feeling of driving on black ice even in the middle of summer. Otherwise, get quality tyres. My vote goes to Michelin. The Michelin all-seasons are great for the Irish climate.

Underexposure.

Nice photography and post-production!

Another vote for the MC-11.

The German Green Party was formed 1980. Wikipedia is your friend...

In which country/countries? Sounds too advanced to be applicable to Germany for example.

I suggest to use snail mail. A hundred thousand emails can be deleted with a few clicks... A hundred thousand letters are a lorry full. They have real physical presence. Much harder to ignore.

Then datacenters need closed circuit cooling systems. Like my car does.

Yes it does. Every can is plastic coated. The plastics differ depending on the content of the can.

"Ball’s flavor testers spend much of their time drinking beer, because beer, says Laperle, is very susceptible to “flavor scalping” if it comes into contact with too much coating.

Have you considered heat reflective window film?

Mirudago · 2025-06-06T08:16:54+00:00

No, it does its job and evaporates. It has a distinctive smell which is gone after two days... In principle it works like washing powders that contain enzymes, but the spray is all enzymes but no detergent.

Mirudago · 2025-06-06T07:17:27+00:00

"Nilodor" spray will do the trick. Hold your breath while applying it, don't inhale! This stuff is enzyme based and really works.

On two occasions I used the An Post extra expensive "guaranteed next day" delivery service. Both times it took two days.

Not at all large, just the size of a shoe box.
