My amazing little 4-year-old niece has been given a last-minute date for heart surgery next week in Bristol (UK). She will be in hospital for at least 2 weeks & it's a long way from home. My sister usually stays in the Ronald McDonald house, AirBnB etc but these are closed. (1/2)
Despite the best efforts of this massive winter storm it looks like Texas to London is ON! Cannot wait to see the Greens on Saturday

Well done for calling this out. It’s a really bad problem - and you’re at a large TV network with the backing that brings. For us independent freelancers having all our work ripped off and stolen, there’s nobody who has our backs.

It doesn’t make a difference, they crop it out and still use it anyway. The point is there are copyright laws and you can’t just take what you like.

And if you live and marry abroad you’re effectively exiled from the UK, unless you’re prepared to return to the UK without your family and try to find a job paying over that amount for months / years.
Good to see so many photographers flocking to Twitter from IG. I’ve been here a while but thought I’d introduce myself (I could use some follows!) I’m a freelance photographer based in Texas, and this year I’ve mostly been covering the southern border with Mexico.

As a freelance I love it when a pitch comes together like this one did. Working up an idea, speaking to the parties involved, consider the audience and outlet it best fits, and crucially approach editors who trust and have faith in you. Thanks
