hi, would love some thoughts on a situation i found myself in.
i was asked to volunteer my time to photograph a fund raising event. this has always been done by another photographer in the past, who donates time and money to this charity. he was a guest at the event and clearly knew that someone else (me) would be shooting the event.
he came with his camera, took many photos. while i was processing, posting & tagging on facebook, i see a message on the charity's facebook page, thanking the other photographer and posting a link to view/purchase his photos. i was very disturbed by this.
i did send an email to the director & event planner (who requested i shoot the event), expressing my concern over posting a thank you & link to his site, when he was not the designated photographer. well, i got very nasty emails from both of them, saying i embarassed them and myself, being negative, my email disturbing etc, etc.
i feel i was asked to be the designated photographer, he was a guest. they were unethical in posting a thankyou to him for his photos with a link to his site to view/purchase, when he was not the designated photographer. they did post a link with my info late last night, 9 hours after posting his link.
your thoughts? would love to have some input on this, both positive and negative.
thanks!!

Don't shoot for them again. If that's the way they treat their volunteers then you don't need the aggravation.
I have a charity that I've worked for for about 10-years now but I'm about ready to quit them as well so I do understand. Good luck
