Wow – I really can’t believe this myself. All those years I wasted in my 20’s trying to get famous with acting and doing stand-up comedy. What I should have been doing is taking photo’s of dead animals – that’s where the acclaim is!
Since my first blog post with the infamous picture of a Redback Spider killing a Blind Snake went viral on Facebook and Twitter, I’ve been contacted by internet, newspaper and television sources for the story! Apparently deadly Aussie creatures killing each other is a newsworthy story all are eager to get their media mitts on. I’ve done 3 phone interviews in the last 2 days – it’s wiggy but kinda cool!
First off I talked to Andrew Kacimaiwai, the editor of Swan Hill’s The Guardian who ran the story on page 2 of their newspaper today (09/01/17), written up by Joshua Wells:
And have also put the story up on their website which you can read here:
I was also contacted by Elliana Saltalamacchia of The Herald Sun. As far as I know they didn’t run it in their physical newspaper (unless they did on Sunday and I missed it) but it went up on their website Saturday night which you can read here:
Today I was contacted by Ben Kimber of Prime 7 asking if they could cover the story. It appeared on television on their local news updates for those in regional Victoria tonight at 9pm. You can watch it on my Youtube Channel and as well as in the video section of my website HERE.
I was also contacted by Niki Burnside of Storyful News who wanted to run the story if I had video. Sadly I had to inform her that I had pictures only. Oh well, I know for next time I see something killing something else eh.
Once again kids, if you want fame don’t bother curing a disease, winning a medal or honing your acting skills. Just photograph creatures killing other creatures – works a treat!
