Never discount the worth of any photograph!

Google buys photographer's shot of seagull eating a chip

"A holidaymaker's 10-year-old snap of a seagull eating a chip is to star in Google's latest ad campaign.

Amateur photographer Hannah Huxford, from Cleethorpes, took the picture in 2011 on an iPhone 3G in Bridlington, East Yorkshire.

Now the image is to feature on billboards and online adverts for the tech giant's search service.

The photographer, who studied the subject at college and has continued to develop her skills as a hobby, cannot reveal what she was paid for the image's use."

I saw this yesterday! if I had know Google were looking for seagull photos, I would have sent them one of mine Not ten years old either!

Would love to know what she got for it...I know she can't say, but....I'm thinking maybe a couple of hundred?
