Great ISU/OSU Picture...

[CysRage]

was hoping to find something cheaper as well, but wouldnt ask the guy to give me his picture for a lower price as I know that is how he makes his living

Trust me, I wouldn't have brought it up if I knew the photographer would lose money from my proposal. Unless Wesley prints and ships the pictures himself (which I am thinking he outsources), my proposal will make him more money. I would pay a $100 royalty that allows me to print his picture once (cutting out the 3rd party middleman that Wesley has to pay commission to), I print my copy at walgreens for $30, I save over $30 and Wesley makes more money because I highly doubt he sees $100 of each sale after each commission on a 3rd party website.

Actually no it isn't. A coworker of mine takes pictures for the Associated Press. He said you can charge a royalty for someone else to print it for internal use (meaning you can't resell them) as long as he isn't officially taking pictures for the AP. I don't think Wesley was working for the AP that night so he can do it if he wants to.

Trust me, I know more about this kind of stuff than most of you jumping to conclusions assuming you know.

Calm down, it was just a joke :skeptical:

I don't know what you do for a living, but I wouldn't like being told I should do my job cheaper or some hack could do it better, more efficient, etc.

Wesley very well may have no problem licensing his picture to you. Good luck :smile:

It will probably cost you more money to pay royalties (the amount you would have paid, less the web hosting site and print cost) and then get it printed somewhere else, than it would to just pay what he is asking.

Plus, if it were me, I would not want a digital file floating out there. And I would not want a photo I'm proud of being displayed on Walgreens' paper. Just sayin.

I didn't mean to come off as aggressive against you and I apologize for that. I should have directed it to the know-it-alls on the first page that can't read an entire post. Strange how none of them posted back after I replied. :skeptical:

I am looking for a great shot from the game or after the game that I could blow up to about 24 x 36...

Thanks!

Bought this for my best friend for Christmas last year. Great pic!

I really want to get a high-quality image of this framed, haven't found it though yet.

Hey all, read the entire post! I said I would pay a royalty! I didn't say for free. I'm pretty sure with his site it is ran by a third party company who takes a commission of his sales from that site. Trust me I know plenty of photographers that rather get a good royalty than get less because of these image hosting sites.

The royalty is $163 dollars and he throws in the $30 print for free. Sheesh

I would've loved that taken from the opposite end zone/scoreboard--but maybe that's just me.
