If you missed the post last week on the BFP (here) I've started the Bureau of Freelance Photographer's Shoot’n’Sell correspondence course.
I'm happy to relate that I've passed my first assignment. Truth is, I don't think you can actually fail the first one anyway, but the tutor did say nice things about my photographs: "You obviously have a good eye for colour and composition, as well as the ability to handle different types of subject matter. This is the kind of versatility that can stand you in good stead as a freelance "
I've submitted these photos for Assignment 2 and now I'm waiting for detailed feedback on their saleability to stock libraries etc. Of course, I'm also composing my resignation letter to Enfield College, now that I'm almost a freelancer ;-)
PS. the origin of "freelance" is really interesting:

I'd stick with the insects if I were you.
