[QUOTE="JudeIscariot, post: 181486, member: 15275"] This is an excellent image. I send it in reply to online ads if they're absolutely ridiculous. Just the other day I saw an ad for a "YOUTH SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER", and the ad itself mentions that the team is sponsored by the NFL and a chain sporting good store... But they can't pay the photographer, you know... It'd be good for their portfolio to do it for free! As a random update: The people actually wrote back and told me I don't have the credentials to work for them anyway. Never mind the fact that they know nothing about me, I didn't send a resume, I didn't send them any images, my e-mail address is not associated with ANYTHING even remotely related to photography (mine or others) and that the name it displays also would lead to nothing. This leads me to believe they are making their judgment based on the fact that they don't know my name... Which means even worse things for the entire situation... Because they're looking for free work... From somebody whose name they actually recognize. They also said "You're also ignorant because you don't know how things work". Yes, I'm ignorant because I know that people asking for and getting free work is slowly killing the industry. [/QUOTE]
