At 11pm on Tuesday evening I get the following email:

I was so excited about the thought of having my first customer that I had trouble sleeping straight away. I also updated my web site so this James would be able to buy pictures from me straight away.

But...

The next day I did a search for James Moore on Google and found out that this email is actually a scam email.

I couldn't believe it I was so gutted.

The positive side is that I now have some prices on my web site (www.goingwildphotography.co.uk) the negative side is that I haven't had any customers yet :(

Oh well... Here's to the future and all those people out there that are going to enjoy my photographs.

God bless you all and please keep visiting my site I have some exciting things planned for the next couple of months.
