Glamour n Grime – The ad

As Robbie Williams said when EMI purchased his music, “I’m rich beyond my wildest dreams!”

That’s right, the Austrian Tourist Board just PAID me, so they can use a shot I took a while ago, as an advert to encourage people to visit, and to hike in their country.

Of course, the slight difference between Mr Williams and I is that he got a hundred million British pounds, and got barely enough to buy a snickers bar. But still. I WAS PAID. This is news! It’s only the 4th time that has ever happened.

If you want to spread the word to those with money burning a hole in their pockets, I really am not offended by the idea of taking it off them.

Anyway, you can see the mock-up of the advert above. Below is the original straight from camera shot. The version I prefer after processing, and a version in black and white I was playing with.

    UPDATED: this is all a big tease. They just wrote to me rescinding the request. Apparently someone decided the image is too quirky. Bugger.
