I don't even get people asking for freebies let alone freelance.

i guess it is the electronic age where you get anything for free ie freeware, youtube, donate if you like me, buy me a coffee, micro stock , etc.  news media today is the same. i remember in 2007 asking the editor of a local newspaper which has been the main read since the 35mm era, if he takes local events editorial on specs.
his reply was, "lol, we really don't pay for anything these days!". and this is just some tabloid i approached in 2007.

Zeus, I really liked yours:) I wish I saved more of mine, some of them were real gems. I usually just say no and delete them, but looks like they do have entertainment value. Maybe we should put them up on a website for people to read for fun and sell advertising:)

I think what's gonna happen is that all these photogs willing to work/give away images for free are going to starve to death and business will be back to normal:)
