Congratulations, I allow our local rag to use my stuff for free, I did some training under there now picture editor when I was seventeen and I have also made a few sales from people phoning the paper and asking to buy a copy of a picture, they passed on my details and I got a sale. :)

I started a 3 year c&g photography thing when I left school, year 1 got the "o" level, year 2 got the "A" level then half way through the 3rd year I got a job as an assistant and promptly learned more in 1 week than 2 and a half years at college. I never did complete the course. As a word of...
