Thoughts on freelance writing

What is freelance writing? Someone might think of it as a hobby, who likes to put their thoughts together. For others it's another way to complement their income. Others see it as a full time job. When I think of freelance writing, freelance photography comes on my mind. I like to take pictures. Sometimes when I'm lucky to freeze a good moment I'd like to share it with others. But to show a picture is not enough, even if it is a good one. It is always good to accompany your work with a good message. I like Popular Photography and National Geographic magazines. I like to read articles written by freelance photographers+writers. They write about their trips to some exotic or dangerous places, accompanying writing with excellent photos. Or they share their experience on some technical aspects of photography. If I had to send an article to a magazine, I would write something about my home country. People like to read about other places. I myself like to read about remote regions. Here in the US we all live pretty much in a good comfort . To read and write about another comfort is kind of boring. So, I think to write and photograph other world is a good way to stand out and be accepted by editor.
