I haven't advertised or gone to any promotional effort in the last four years, yet, due to the volume of soccer action, team and portrait photos I've sold, I'm now being invited to tackle a wider range of jobs. So its all reputation and word of mouth stuff. It is rather nice when someone says thanks for the photos upon bumping into them up at the supermarket. In a couple of weeks I'll be shooting at a soccer carnival called the Kanga cup. Many teams from the US will be visiting and I'm looking forward to seeing how they play. The local teams are a bit concerned that the visitors might be very good indeed .... Regards Rick Dykstra
