Recently, I have talked about being a finalist in a photography contest for Nokia and Burton.
As a finalist, I was to be sent a trial phone by Nokia, and I was supposed to be taking a bunch of pictures with the phone to qualify for a trip to the Burton High Fives in New Zealand. I was supposed to have the phone for four weeks before I returned it, and have these photos uploaded by the August 20th, (yesterday). So here I am on the morning of August 21st, and my sister tells me that I finally have a package at the door. Un-fucking-believable.
     Through all of this, I had been e-mailing the campaign coordinator at Talenthouse, letting them know that no one had contacted me to send the phone. Later on, when that was resolved, she sent me a reminder e-mail saying don't forget to upload the pictures to my portfolio, and I let her know that I never received a phone, to which I received no response. Communication was pretty whack.
     Even though I didn't have the device to take the low light pictures on, I still didn't let that stop me from taking some rad-ass pictures... what good photographer would??
