Looking For A 'Proper' Job!

After many many years I am going to stop freelancing as a cameraman and am now looking for a 'proper' job working 9-5 five days a week. Of course I am still guessing that I will be probably doing that as a cameraman... or maybe not?! If anyone has any interesting offers of work please get in touch direct at ricporter@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you.
I have an impressive CV having worked as an adult cameraman for over 20 years, shooting the first ever adult feature for Private Media, as well as working as an cameraman and editor for Score Group, Viv Thomas, Omar and more.
I was a consultant in setting up TVX in 1995 and remained as a 'house producer' ever since.
I was also Managing Editor of adult magazine group Fantasy Publications for many years, producing over 40 magazines a month including New Talent, Asian Babes, Big Ones, For Men, Forum etc.
I was also a writer for Penthouse UK and New Talent before this.
I have also run and produced live 'babe' style television.
I also have experience in sourcing material for websites and an extensive knowledge of Ofcom and BBFC guidelines.
I own a Sony Z1 with full lights and remote wireless Senheisser 816 sound and edit on Final Cut Pro.
Anyone who has any serious work offers are greatly welcome! Thank you.

Thta sreally sad and also worrying to hear that a veteran of your stature is leaving the business.

I always thought you were part of the furniture at TVX.

Why not come to the UKAP party and we'll sup a beer or two and chat or you oculd come to the meeting in the afternoon if you can make it

Its going to be weird after 20 years going back to a 9 to 5 just make sure you have a camera handy for those office capers !happy!

Hi Rick - I'm years ahead of you - I "retired" from this business 5 years ago. The only people making money now are girls prepared to do any and everything and rip-off merchants.

I find more of my stuff appearing for public consumption each month (on the net) than ever I sold to publishers. I used to get paid for selling stuff to publishers - now everyone thinks they can steal everyting and paste it up for free! Even stuff that I underlook with the model would never appear in the UK is up there for all to see.

In those good-old-days, our cottage industry was fun to be involved in, and it provided a modest living. Now it's a sleazy quagmire of shiesters - well mostly!
