I don't want good stuff!
-
Yesterday I have pass a shop who selling mobile phone, and the sale suggest the client to buy a mobile phone and match with a better battery for RMB 500. (please understand that there is many fake battery in China.)
The client reply "I don't want a better battery" ...
It just like everyday people come to me because they looking for a professional photographer, but they all say that they don't want good photograph ...

Serious problem in Hong Kong web design fields
-
For me website is an important ID and or advertisement of a company or their products, but today the site makers that operate in Hong Kong does not think the same.
There is many time, website design companies call me up and ask me to do some professional photography for their clients, and as normally I will ask them to give me the idea of the site, the layout of the design and also what those photograph suppose to be say...
Normally I will get blame / ignore because I am asking too much that out of their mind ...
And the comment answer is
"I just charge them HK$20000 to make a website, I don't care what they are go to sell and the visual communication stuffs is non of my business ... My main aim is to get that HK$20000 only."

Local newspaper steal photograph form photographers website
-
Just have a chat with a foreign photographer who based in Macau / Macao.
His story is about the local newspaper who steal and used his photograph as editorial material from his website.
Come on ... now is 2010 and we already have copyright law for that long long time, and medias / publishers is still doing that ?
Please wake up and rethink steal is a crime and their chief editor should put in jail.
