A friend of mine is a budding camera man and was talking about how difficult it is these days to get a break or any kind of paid work. It reminded me of the Rick Astley story.

Rick started out as a tea boy (and tape operator) at the studios of Stock Aitken Waterman. After two ‘PG rated’ years he got the chance to shine, racking up more than a dozen worldwide hits, two big selling albums and after rick-rolling into the new millennium was named Best Act Ever by MTV Europe. He still performs and tours and is a great example of grabbing any chance to do anything near to your ambition.

..and if you’re reading this Rick, milk and two sugars please!
