Drumming up new freelance work

As the fall turns into winter, my opportunities for outdoor sports to photograph are dwindling.

I decided this week to try a new tack to gain some wedding photography experience by offering to assist or serve as a second shooter for free. I put the ad up on craigslist last night, and I'm anxious to see if I have any takers. My goal is to build up some solid experience and a few contacts that I can work with in the spring/summer wedding season. It wouldn't hurt to be able to afford some better equipment.
