<p>Ansel Adams, Helmut Newton, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jean-Loup Sieff</p>

<p>I know the feeling ! My 2 c ? Just say "NO" to any free use ! And when told "it would make you good publicity", answer "advertising what? that I give my work away ?". I believe it was the Tel-Aviv museum who wanted to publish one of my photos in some of their publications, they had no budget (heard that before ?). I said "No budget, no photos !" I further asked "Does the printer print your book for free ? Do you get free electricity ? Do your staff members work for free ? Why should you pay these people and not me?". Guess what ? They paid and used the photo. What you need to understand is that EVERYONE will try to get free stuff. Just say "No money ? No stuff !". Simple as that. Just be careful to make it an iron-clad rule though, so you can't have someone trying to twist your arm "yeah, but this other person got to use some of your photos free". I'd hate to see you burn your negs.. however if you can raise enough attention and create a "buzz" it may be a good way to convey a message. Just make sure though your loss won't be bigger than you gain. Regards and less us know what happens....</p>

Was used on covers of several books, in CDs... I sued every illegitimate use, so it

ended up making more money through penalties than actual fees.... altogether probably

several thousand dollars....<div></div>

Is there a way I can share the content of my favo(u)rites pages with others, both members and non-members of photo.net

 

I think being able to share a few of the gems contained in this site would be a great way to promote the site.....
