Nice work

What made you take a pic of a phonebox?

Do you get told who buys the image and what they will be used for?

Funnily enough my mate got me to take a pic of a phonebox in edinburgh!

Id seen other very amateurish looking snapshot photos (like mine then) of similar things, like letter boxes, benches, etc. If an object exists, then at some point in time people will want to buy photos of that object however mundane the photo may be.

Your pic is far better than mine though, nice shot. And no, you dont get told who is buying the photos, unfortunately.

I think so yes, but you can be paid via paypal, moneybookers, etc... if that answers your question. ie does it matter where the office of the agency itself is based?
