Simonscans is hiring!
Its time to expand so we are looking for some new people…
Photographers.
Up to now, we’ve never bought in any photosets, but times change and we’d like to expand, one way for us to do this is to buy in high quality sets from other photographers so please feel free to contact us about submitting sets for exclusive publication. You will need to be able to supply digital originals of at least 6mp. Please email staff@simonscans.com with some samples and we’ll contact you with rates and submission guidelines. However, please browse the site and have some idea of what Simonscans is about before submitting. We are looking for a small number of photographers to work with in an ongoing fashion, so talk to us if you have any questions.

Web designer.
We need an experienced website designer to work on the site and a number of other projects. You’ll need good Photoshop and layout skills along with HTML and CSS. Please apply with samples of your work with links to live sites where possible. The successful designer will have the chance to work on a ground up redesign of the site alongside the usual day to day work of graphics and banners. You don’t need to be based but you will need a good command of English! staff@simonscans.com

Arggggggghhhhh!!!! it's happening again!!!! This time I fly home to find while I've been away that those evil average speed cameras are being installed on my section of the m11. Seriously considering leaving the UK, not only are all the girls fat chavs, I can't drive at a speed fit for a grown-up ANYWHERE any more.

Oh, its all fun here. Fun, fun, FUN. This week mostly I have been SHOUTING. I'm loosing track of the days but I think we shot Eve Angel on Tuesday having just moved into a new apartment. A truely stunning apartment for a real cracker of a girl. For about 2 hours we thought we'd really turned a corner and things were about to get easier. All the girls have been basically very nice, though communication has often been problematic, but the accomodation has been a real issue. Expensive and crap.
But this place was ace, until the doorbell rang. It was the neighbour asking what were all of the flashes comeing through the windows, they were annoying him. Well, mostly they were NONE OF HIS BUSINESS! this in no way detered him, yet more ding dong ding dong at the door. By this time I have to admit I was having a very slight sense of humour failure. Anyway we do the polite thing and plod on, shooting only with the video lights.
Next the phone starts ringing and its the landlady, the french landlady so I'm already struggling to play nice (noooo, you're wrong, I LOVE the french, whatever made you think otherwise?) yet more dissusion and evasion on my part, but hey, it really is none of her damn business what I do in her place as long as it legal and I don't break stuff, IMHO. So anyway, we agree to stop doing all the things we weren't doing in the first place and it all calms down a bit... Till 1 am... When I get a text from her. Non, Non, Non is the gist of it. fair enough she wants us to go, but at 1 fucking am?

So we have to get up super early, move out, find a new place AND do the two shoots we have booked. As I said, fun, fun, fun. Oh and to top it all off my assistant spits his dummy over the first chance for food of the day - Macdonalds is evil and he simply cannot do lunch there. So now on top of everything I'm all low blood sugar as well...
I could go on, but lets skip to the happy ending. New apartment, owner v happy with what we do. Finally we're rolling.

As ever nothing ever turns out quite how I expect or plan for. After a week in Budapest things are going reasonably well - except after nearly a week we still don't have reliable access to the internet, which as you can imagine is driving me nuts. We've now moved apartment three times chasing working internet AND heating in the same place. So far we're not winning - to the point that I've had a hissy fit and come home for the weekend leaving my assistant and translator to freeze their butts off and fix it all, for princess Simon, by monday. Sometimes its great being the boss. :)
Just getting out of the UK is enough to drive me loopy in the first place. How can parking a can at the airport for a week cost more than the flights? Why do check-in assume I'm going to moan at the excess baggage - We're 60kilos OVER so we know theres no way out and we really don't mind paying! But my carry on is one Kilo over and its a HUGE PROBLEM, however buying 6 bottles of whisky in dutyfree (and thus carrying it onto the plane!) isn't. Not that you get told about the carry on limit while you're at check in and could still possibly do something about it. - transfer of latest Terry Pratchet book from carry on to hold should do the trick. Oh no, the 10kilo carry on limit is only mentioned as you go through the X-ray scanner bit when theres absolutley fuck all you can do about it, short of sending the whole bag of cameras back to check-in and into the hold. If theres one thing the UK still does well its olympic standard Jobsworths. "just doing my job, sir, no need to be abusive" Yeah, what-ev-errr.
Anyway, back to the porn. Five days and five shoots of five girls. The first couple are up already Maggie and Alix. I would guess both have a fair bit of porn baggage and history as both sniggered out loud when asked if they'd done any video. (they had) Both had that look on there face that reads as "don't you know who I am?" in any language. So those of you with DVD colloections or memberships to other sites may just recognise them. Either way, every shoot this week was a delight, all the girls turned up bright and shiny and eager to work - not one flinched at the oversized toys we'd brought along, and a couple evern faked passable orgasms during the videos. Does it get any better than that?
To be continued....
