Likewise with photographs - as I have already tried to point out, maybe you are not so alert, but money is not necessarily the only reward. I would class someone a fool if they are happy with simple pride in seeing their pictures in print, and not really giving a toss about the financial aspect. Ever written a letter to a newspaper or magazine? If that gets published, do you get paid? If not, why do you do it, surely that too is part of the content of the magazine, ie helping them fill it for free.</blockquote>
