Whats going on

2005-05-23 Me

Well its been over a month since my last post and a lot has been going on. The main thing is that Digital Vision has been aquired by Getty Images for $165 million in cash.

For the industry this is quite big news and for me, well it wasn’t a shock but it gives me an opportunity to go and do bigger and better things! I am looking into the idea of doing contract work. At the moment we will be working as normal but a large percentage of the staff are in effect being made redundent as they are not needed in Getty.

I am sure that I will have a little more information on it at a later date but for now I am currently working on my new portfolio site which should be around by the end of this week, and will include a revamp of this blog, plus the Everymetric business services and website.
