I wanna be sedated

So when the economy started tanking the RC Helicopter shop seemed immune for quite a while, but it eventually caught up to us and the guys with the disposable income started sitting instead of giving it to us every day. So I decided that my dad could do without the strain of overpaying me, and starting looking for something else and finally found it.

I did for hire PC repair, and freelance photography for a while but finally found a solid, stable job shooting pictures of cars for an ad agency that pushes to Autotrader.com, cars.com, and many other online sites. It's pretty cool, while I have a boss (lives in San Antonio), I am pretty much alone as I am one of only two people in my area working for them, and the other guy technically works for a different company owned by the same parent company. Everything is done through emails, text and phone calls. It was kind of funny getting the job, I responded to an ad on Craigslist, and didn't hear back for three months, so I figured it was another info phishing scam ad, but the guy called and said that it was a mistake when they posted it in Corpus Christi, but that they now had dealerships in Corpus that needed people. I interviewed, but someone else initially got the job, but he turned out to be a lazy douchebag, so they came to me. It's pretty tight, pays great hourly to start, overtime like a mofo, $300 car allowance plus mileage monthly, $65 phone allowance monthly, $35 for internet monthly, 401 and bennies after two months, camera, laptop, and iPad.

Here's what I do, I shot these pictures ...

congrats!!!

you broke the 1st rule of photography. get out of your own photos lol
 
That's an interesting job man. Congrats.

Thanks, and yea it is pretty interesting. I was actually going to freelance this same idea to some smaller dealerships in town, but this came along first. Of course now I am learning the inside details to be able to offer a better, more professional package to clients if/when I strike out on my own
 
I remember when I worked at Texas Direct Auto, they had a whole staff of photographers and another whole staff of photo 'retouchers' that did all their sale photos, hah. Super top secret James Bond stuff :p


Super sketchy and shady, but word on the street was they made a DAMN good paycheck
