UK Environment Agency in Hiding

Only a few days ago the United Kingdom Environment Agency launched a program offering unpaid work to amateur and student photographers. If you missed this story you can catch up here. 

Unpaid Photography Opportunity

If you would like to do some voluntary photographic work for the UK Government, then the United Kingdom's Environment Agency is the place for you! 

They are needing free photographic services. Unfortunately they are still paying their accountants, scientists, clerical staff, PR people, and all other the skills, at least for now. We're afraid there is no opportunity for any of these specialism, sorry guys, at least not yet, but maybe they will include you in this amazing opportunity soon!

The Copyright Zone

Edward Greenberg and Jack Reznicki have recently launched The Copyright Zone website which they describe as a "Survival Blog for Photographers, Artists, and the Confused". The blog has articles covering many aspects of photography and the law such as copyright, rights grabbing scams, model releases, etc., etc.
