In this activity we were asked to do a Whois on Christian Fletcher.
On the Whois website the information it provides is that the domain name 'christianfletcher.com.au' is not available to purchase as it is already owned by Christian Fletcher Photo Images. The domain name was last registered in February 2013 in Western Australia.
Whois also shows that even though the domain name 'christianfletcher.com.au' is not available, the name 'christianfletcher' with other extensions are. These other domain names are: christianfletcher.biz, christianfletcher.net.au, christianfletcher.info and christianfletcher.mobi.
Whois also provides other alternative suggestions to a reader you may think may be suitable for the domain name such as: christian-fletcher.com.au, christian-fletcher.net.au, christian-fletcher.biz, lifechristianfletcher.net.au, greenchristianfletcher.com.au just to name a few.
Christian Fletcher is based in Western Australia and a has been a professional photographer for the past 20 year specialising in landscape photography. He runs workshops, has three galleries based in Western Australia and features hundreds of images on his site for sale in a variety of formats including books, mounts, cards, coasters, DVDs.

1. What are the pros & cons of joining as a student member to the AIPP & ACMP?
AIPP - Australian Institute of Professional Photographers
PROs:
* The AIPP is a large community where people can network and learn from each other.
* Attend AIPP seminars and workshops at discounted prices.
* Access resouces including example business forms such as contracts and documents.
* Enter assessment awards to help you improve in your photography.
* Be offered discounted products and services from AIPP trade partners.
* Receive electronic copies of AIPP and industry specific publications and magazines.
* The membership fee is only $75 which I do not believe is expensive for the information you will receive from this site.
CONs:
I don't see any cons with joining as a student member.
ACMP - Australian Commercial and Media Photographers
PROs:
It offers a free subscription to Capture Magazine and monthly electronic newsletters with association and industry news.
A free copy of the 'Better Business Bible' is offered.
It provides you with documentation about the promotion of best practice.
Discounts are given on marketing software, VW car purchases, Adobe software, insurance for members, workshops & seminars and industry social events.

CONs:
As a student member, unlike the other some of the other memberships, you do not get access to certain parts of the site including access to videos of recent seminars and access to the member online forum.
It is also nearly double the price to join as a student as what it is to join the AIPP.
