Much Freebies in London!!!

Everytime I go to the tube to get to work, there is always someone giving you something free. If it is not the Metro, the London paper or London Lite, it is a sport magazine or something. Today someone gave me a free Mini BabyBel cheese! But the best freebie I got today was free recycle bag from the London paper! (See above.)

Can you guess what this is? Three guesses? Give up....

No it is not a lethal weapon - it is a toothpick and plaque remover!

Now if only someone would be handing out free Canon cameras....

Free textures from Portsmouth

Here is my contribution to giving something back to the photographic community.

I have found a wealth of information at the tip of my fingers on forums such as photo.net and blogs like Pay it Foward & Photo Love Cat.

So here are some free textures taken by me in Portsmouth, taken in subway. Let me know how you get on with them!

Remember you can also find other free textures from Mayang. What are textures for photos? See previous posts here and here.
