Question concerning showing photos
Jun 20, 2019 20:50:54 #
For the past few years, I been getting many emails about sending in photos to be shown or displayed for people of the world to look at. My question is, can I trust them?
Sorry if I don't trust people but I've been screwed over and that doesn't help my concerns.
Who's to say, they display a photo at my expense, then keep it for them to sell or create their own stock photography site?
A bunch the "contests" probably just charge you alot of cash just to fill their pockets. I figure a cheap "winner" would only win a 500 or so dollar camera which is likely to be payed by the first few people who get hook, then it's all profit. (Would that be called a scam or a racket?)
Like I eluded to before, I don't trust trust to many unknown people.

Agree. If you post consider it public property.
I recently posted on UHH a great picture of a LION that I took in a Out of Safari photo workshop.Some last IM me and asked if she could use it for her Church program. I granted her permission with the proviso she send me a copy. She even gave me credit for the image. An honest lady.

Or you can do what I do:
I take photos that nobody would want to buy.

But if you don't post images 'some people' not a million miles away, suggest that your comments on photography have little value....
