I'm
accepting.
I also think it is important that different aspects of what someone says
are not necessarily related in a way that might not have been intended.
Therefore, I do not relate the situation with the deadbeat key
photographer to the concept of offering these pictures to the couple.
I've taken them
as two ethical questions.
Do I have the right to do as I want with these pictures and get paid for them because the work was not originally contracted on my behalf?
Since I did the job under the aegis of another photographer, can I contact the couple on my own?
There's NO clear link between the main photographer's deadbeat-ness and the urge to do something good for the pair, other than the one you make about exorcism.
