We interrupt this project to bring you a news update.....or not as the case was!

So things kicked off in North Korea and the boys (Adam, Xiao Yi and Markel) went to take photos of the border in Dandong. Last Friday, the girls decided to go and join them and see if we could sell photos..........(me, Christine and Purple). Me and Christine stayed up really late on Friday night, emailing loads of magazines and newspapers and picture editors etc. We then headed for Dandong early in the morning, and finally arrived there about 11 am. We set straight off to take photos then edited and submitted to a few places but no luck. Adam was getting stuff on for Reuters but the rest of us did not get far at all.....So we tried again the next day but then decided to return on Sunday as no-one appeared interested in our photos despite them being the same as those from Reuters, AFP and AP...........We learnt a lot about the whole process of news photograhy and the importance of having contacts ready at the drop of a hat etc.
