yeah I know...you thought you could smell something burning! lol.

Anyhow, I have been thinking about what type of photos would sell well. Does anyone here follow the news and take photos that would be useful for newspapers, magazines etc to cover their stories?

ie. Photos of chickens at the moment would be in high demand due to the bird flu.

Any other suggestions?

How about photos of frogs? ...They taste like chicken...

How about locusts? They are also considered a plague. ...although I don't know if they taste like chicken.

If you're willing to light things on fire and/or blow them up, those kinds of photos seems to dominate newspapers & magazines.

More help than you expected, huh?

and along that line of thinking..drought shots would do well in places like Australia.

perhaps 'in the news' might be a good challenge topic.

actually bushfires would be a great photo, because it could be sold year after year in bushfire season.
