Why it pays to carry a camera

So there we were yesterday afternoon, my mate Iain and me, bowling along a country road north of Glasgow on our bikes (training for this, gawd help us), when we came across a Land Rover that had mounted the pavement, ploughed into a wall and flipped over.

Iain, being a professional photographer with an eye for a photo opp (and also one of the first ever Scoopt members and indeed instrumental in setting up the business), did the obvious thing... and whipped out his Sony Ericsson K750 cameraphone. Two of his pics were printed today in the Glasgow Evening Times, along with the story (the driver lost control but escaped without needing medical treatment, which probably tells you something useful about Land Rovers).

So you see you can snap, send, sell anywhere at any time. If you're carrying a camera. Which I, er, wasn't. So Iain got the sale and I got an ice cream.
