I'm a real photographer??

Maybe... this is the second time someone's wanted to use one of my photos. No, the third.

First time, as reported here, was Schmap, using a picture of a Bristol pub. Second time was also Schmap, but they'd got their geography wrong, and once I'd pointed this out, they didn't get back to me.

But this time... this time it's the BBC. They've got a GCSE revision website called Bitesize. They're producing Flash movies of each of the poems on there. And for this poem, they want this photo. There's a contract to sign, and everything.

Wow.

I've just read their very detailed guide to what will and won't be accepted, and what they're looking for and what they've got too much of. It's somewhat intimidating. Their copyright issues and "model release" forms probably cut out everything I've ever done, including the photo the BBC wanted.

Still, I've read it, I'll bear it in mind from now on. Some of my food&drink shots might work, at least the food ones. Drink ones tend to contain the brand name of the drink...
