There are these public toilets in Hampstead, London that are exellent. oh wait, BIRDING, ignore me.

It was irritating to watch for me, seems the guys are goading the security guards, sure they are in the wrong but all of the photographers seem pretentious and condescending.

Online courses are a waste of money in my opinion, all the information is available to you for free, on the internet, just do a bit of searching/reading and go out and practice. I don't think anyone can teach a person to be creative. You either are, or you aren't.

Some great work on your site Richard. as for mate rates, I get it all of the time as a Designer, from old freinds mainly through facebook,wanting flyers/websites etc. It's annoying.

great stuff.

Welcome mate ;) another newbie here. I'm also a freelance Designer so if you ever want any advice feel free to ask. -Dan
