I have a couple of $hots





But I'm sick of giving my stuff away to be honest, I've spent over 6k on photography gear so far and would love to re-coup at least some of the money

lovely clarity on them - i'm in the stage of thinking of doin a mag rather than having pots of cash to spend on photos at the mo so just looking at various options - if i become a rich publisher will contact you guys

As my old boss at the ad agency said, when we were driving to meet a dining-table dreamer: 'I'll take him seriously when he puts some loot on the table'. It's a good test of committment.


Some ideas:

1) Raid the piggy bank - it's called investing/start-up costs etc.

2) Alternatively, what free stuff can you give in return?

3) Take your own photo?
