of me- can you send me a copy.
Dam it must be that everyone is bored now that winter has set in so they are looking at pictures from last season. I am getting at least 3 emails a day asking for pictures. Most are
Hey I saw you took a picture of me. I am number 510 can you send me a copy of it and any others you have from last season. I also have a friend that rides a Yamaha number 210 can you also send any of him?
I usually reply- I need more info like what races and classes did you race? I have over 3000 pictures from this season so I need to narrow it down. 90% of the time I never hear anything back sometimes it is "I was at Aztalan a couple times (we run 7 races each summer) usually I race in XXX class."
last week I got an email "hey I saw the picture you have on the Aztalan website of me and I want to get a poster made up. They say I need the full resolution as big of a file as you have. Can you send it to me?"
I replied "I do not give away the full resolution images since I also make and sell posters. Here are my prices let me know what you want to do.
I get an email back a day later "I have a friend that does the posters for free and i just want the picture. How much would you charge for just the picture?
I send an email back that the price for the image file is the same as the price I charge for a poster.
A couple days go by and he replies " Why should I pay for a picture of me? You put it up on the website without my permission so you owe me the file to pay for using it.'
I sent him a return email. Do not bother me anymore I will delete your picture from the website and my files
Today I get the email "Hey can you put the picture back up on the website I want to show some friends a picture of me racing. I am sorry I pissed you off and would still like to get the file from you"
I replied What picture are you talking about? I don't think I took one of you this year" :nener:
