Professional Photography Etiquette
Ok this might sound a little creepy, especially given where this took place, but here goes.
Last week while on vacation, I was fishing Beavertail at dusk. As I was leaving there were two professional photographers taking pictures of the sunset and apparently of me as I was fishing. As I was leaving they asked me to pose so they could get my silhouette with the sunset in the background. I said sure, but could you please email me the pics? They said no problem and had me get in position( another homo-erotic sexual innuendo, I know). I saw the pic, it came out great. It was the quintessential RI surfcasting image.
So a week later and I haven't received the pic. It really pisses me off because I know this guy will probably sell the pic for profit. It wouldn't bother me so much if they had snapped pics of me while fishing, but they had me pose and I thought that we had come to an agreement that I would get a copy. This happened at the mouth of the Narrow River one year when T.O. and Tynan were fishing with me and the guy was kind enough to email us the pics. Those came out killer, BTW.
I'm thinking these jamokes were worried that I would turn around and sell the pic so they didn't send it. How friggin' greedy can you be? And like I said, it wouldn't bother me so much if they hadn't asked me to pose.
So if anyone sees a pic of my ugly mug with the Narragansett shoreline off in the distance, sun setting overhead, please give me a heads up so I can contact this guy.
Any thoughts? How would you feel?
