We are hoping that people who are unwilling to pay for photography will soon learn that we place no value on them either. Are you ready to make a statement. We have established web, phone and email alias for you to use. Alexander R.O.

cdifoto Don't get pissy with me  34,090 posts Likes: 44 Joined Dec 2005 More info | Jun 22, 2010 13:54 | #6 The problem isn't with people asking for free photography. The problem is with people giving away free photography. If you even want to call it a problem. I don't think it is. People get what they pay for when they enter into deals like that and it has no affect on me whatsoever because I never would have booked someone who didn't have the cash to pay in the first place. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

It seems to me that the photographers losing out and **** about it never had a superior product to offer.
