Better Than Being Stuck In A Drawer

Hello all

Another nice little success story to tell you about this morning. I recently had an email out of the blue from an ex-West Dean student, Clare Mansell, who had trekked down all the way from Scotland for the course! Here's what she wrote.....

A success story for you - I woke up this morning to a strange email from someone congratulating me on my picture being used by today's Observer… to cut a VERY long story short, it's a picture I uploaded to Alamy after last year's West Dean course and pretty much forgot all about. I haven't yet seen it in the actual paper, but here is a screenshot of the online version…

Andrew says......Excellent stuff Clare! A great, great shot that is perfect for the story. Had you not uploaded the picture to Alamy, only close family members would have seen it, so this is superb news. Hopefully, you'll get a few bob for it too!

Thanks folks, keep 'em coming.
