Movember – Day 0


Image by Scootie
During the month of Movember (formerly known as November) I will be joining the legion of Mo Bro’s – growing a Mo to try and raise awareness about men’s health issues.

Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer.
Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.
The number of men diagnosed with testicular cancer has grown by approximately 34% over the past decade, but the reason for this is not known.

We’re dying like flies out here and all because most men would rather just ‘put up with it’ instead of going to visit their doctor.

To sponsor me on this endeavour, go to the Movember website, enter my Rego no 24516 and put in your credit card details. Donations over are tax deductable.

My Personal Insurance Agent (#93041)

In the beginning, the idea of paying for insurance to cover my photography gear was at the bottom of my priority list. After all, there are so many other pieces of equipment that I wanted to get my hands on. But through the years, my equipment list grew to an amount that is worth more than my car and the simple act of lugging that much gear around started to make me nervous. On an average shooting day, I would have two 5D Mark IIs, two 580EX IIs, 85mm f/1.2L, 35mm f/1.4L, 17-40mm f/4L, a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS and three pocket wizards (not to mention a Macbook Pro when I’m on the road), plus accessories. It’s much more than a sack of electronics – thats my future career on the line. It would only take one brief moment for a thief to take it all away from me.

So i decided to get my equipment insured… Initially, I didn’t really know where to go and I ended up on a photography website which offers a discount on insurance for any member of their website. Other than that, I couldn’t find much information on photography insurance, so I had no choice but to sign up.

Signing up was easy. You login, send in your credit card information and a list of equipment and you would receive an email notification that you were "covered" by some obscure insurance company that you’ve never heard of. And even though I was "technically" insured, I still didn’t have the confidence that I would be safe in case anything happened. It was that sense of uneasiness that got me.

About a year passed by and I finally decided that I was going to switch my automotive insurance over to State Farm because I wanted an insurance company that could cover both my car and my new motorcycle at the same time. Thats when I met my current insurance agent, ThuyVu. The thing that struck me about ThuyVu is that she wasn’t anything like the other insurance agents I’ve dealt with in the past. For one thing, she is one of the top agents in the country.. and on the other hand, she is also an underground house DJ, a classically trained musician, a Tae Kwon Do black belt and does voice-over for video games. FINALLY, I had the chance to work with someone that understood art and how important photography is to me. It didn’t feel l like I was talking to an Insurance Agent as much as it felt like I was talking to a friend. And best of all, she was able to explain my insurance policies with crystal clarity, and fully insure all of my photography gear too.

So if you are thinking about insuring your gear, I highly recommend ThuyVu. Not only did she beat the rates of her competitors, her service was leaps and bounds above them.

Bank of America – Take Back the Economy 4-28-09 (07)

Seattle Taxpayers Demonstrate at Bank of America as Part of Continued Nationwide Actions to Take Back the Economy

“Taxpayer Proxy” Action Demands Bank Fire CEO Ken Lewis,

Commit to Strong Banking Reform, Voice for Workers

Seattle (April 28, 2009) – Taxpayers, working families and SEIU members joined together in Seattle today and more than 100 other cities across the nation today to take action outside Bank of America branches and collect and deliver “Taxpayer Proxies” demanding the bank fire CEO Ken Lewis and commit to financial reform that puts consumers and workers ahead of profits.

The taxpayer actions took place on the eve of Bank of America’s annual shareholder meeting in Charlotte, NC. After accepting billion in bailout funds, taxpayers and the government are the largest shareholders of Bank of America, and taxpayers in Seattle are demanding that their voices be heard.

On April 29th a delegation of community and national leaders will deliver the “Taxpayer Proxy” demands to the Bank of America shareholder meeting calling on it to: fire CEO Ken Lewis; support strong banking reform; eliminate predatory lending practices and unreasonable fees; support the Employee Free Choice Act to ensure workers have a voice to speak out for consumers and improve working conditions; and provide affordable healthcare to bank workers so they are not forced to rely on tax-payer funded public health programs.

“Taxpayers didn’t cause this economic crisis—but we sure are paying the price," said SanJerra Collins, a caregiver from Tacoma and member of SEIU Healthcare 775NW. “For years, banks have built a business model around pushing dangerous products and burying customers in more and more debt. It’s time for banks to stop these predatory practices and create a system that’s about helping people, not exploiting people.”

Over the last two years, Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis has received .8 million in compensation, while the median wage for a teller at Bank of America hovers around the federal poverty line for a family of four.

Despite receiving billion in federal taxpayer bailout funds since last fall, Bank of America has announced plans to lay off 30,000 to 35,000 workers and handed out .2 million in corporate bonuses. Bank of America could have used the money they paid out in bonuses to give each of its bank tellers an estimated 1,000 raise—nearly seven times their median salary.

The bank also continues to make taxpayers pick up the tab for approximately million a year in employee health care costs because many Bank of America workers cannot afford the company’s health insurance and must rely on public healthcare programs. This costs Washington state taxpayers 9,000 every year.

Last year, Bank of America collected .3 billion in bank fees, almost 30 percent higher than either of its two largest competitors. And even after taking bailout money Bank of America continues running up credit card interest rates on customers even if they have made every payment on time. The bank arbitrarily hiked interest rates on one million play-by-the-rules, pay-on-time customers in 2007 alone.

In 2008, Bank of America spent over million on lobbying and opposed bills like the Employee Free Choice Act, the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights and the Foreclosure Prevention Act which would directly benefit the economy and consumers.
