    What makes a professional photographer?

    dazza, you've nailed it there. That is a good answer. I take pictures for pleaseure and for profit. And the ones I take for pleasure largely are better quality, more arty and more keepable than the ones I do for work.

    X-Factor and Queen

    Didn't queen overtake the Beatles recently as the most successful band ever? To give Queen songs to a bunch of hopefuls is only ever going to prove disappointing. Queen have four decades of experience, Freddy Mercury was an outstanding performer. How can they compete? Stacey and the twins...
