Few top tips, Get rid of the ads and buy a plus fotopic account. Take off anything you don't need aka the mini boxes, the stats for example. It's sell sell sell but in the wrong way. Make it slightly more slick by adding a new logo, i am sure one of the chaps here will give you hand...

Look online and your local library for standard terms and conditions. Also have a lawyer look over the terms of sale, to make sure it's legally binding and you have left no loop holes. James

Whatever you do don't do that, your "verbally" giving away your copyright. If i were you, i would write a clean email to him outlining that you own the copyright and he has a licence to use the photos. If you want to be subtle you can always use your initials including your middle names...

Hmmmm Well everyone is going to do Youth Culture and by far it will be your easy option but everybody is going to do it. Right I'll sum all three up i think this will be easyer: The Natural World: Aim for the impressive, everybody sees photos of wildlifes day in day out, so go for...

Well i ould but i have no time. Well it's personal work so if it does go missing i'll be annoyed but for clients it's digital now so i have no time to go down to london.

Oh no the staff are helpful, but i just don't trust high street send away services, no matter what the business. But i am sure i will recieve them back fine. James
