After various tours of Northern Ireland and Germany, I was selected for commission and fighting in the Gulf War. I later decided to leave the army and try my chances in the grown-up world. </p> <p align="justify"> I demobbed in October 1993 and moved to Mölln near Hamburg. In early 1996 I was offered the job as Course Manager at Golfclub Schloss Weitenburg, a golf course down the road from where we (my wife and I) now live in Rottenburg-Obernau. I worked there for 6 years and in 2002 was headhunted by a Dutch golf supply firm to setup a new greenkeeping division. Due to a multitude of reasons we parted company in the October of that year, so I decided to go it alone and set up my own company, International Course Management, ICM. </p> <p align="justify"> I have since folded the company and have decided to pursue my dream of earning a living as a photographer with emphasis on photojournalism. I have given myself - or should I say, my wife has given me - until early next year (2008) to see if this is realistic career option. </p> <p align="justify"> My main hobbies are: Golf (naturally); Motorbike racing; photography; skiing and reading. My lifetime's ambition is to be a war photographer (photojournalist) and would gladly drop everything to pursue this goal. So if there are any publishers / editors / agents out there that need a foolhardy Englander, then get in touch; NOW! </p> <p align="justify">Paul Crispin, October 2007. </p> <p align="justify"> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#EEEEEE"><div align="center"> <a href="/crispin/copyright.htm">© Paul Crispin</a> <br /> </div></td></tr> </table> <! ------ bottom bar ------> <p> </p> <div align="center"> <a href="http://cain.ulster.ac.uk/index.html">CAIN Web Service</a><br /> <font face="arial" color="#000000" size="-1"> all photographs <a href="/crispin/copyright.htm">© Paul Crispin</a><br /> page compiled by Martin Melaugh<br /> </font> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr></table></div> </body> </html>
