Joe: I came to an agreement with Jason allowing him to use the photos on his website as long as credits the photographer and links back to the post.

I’m not trying to stop the circulation of photos, just making sure they are properly credited.

So I removed the shots.

Uh, no, you haven’t yet, sir. I see you’ve added the credit link, but it doesn’t say anywhere that you may use the photos with a credit link – “All Rights Reserved” means you can’t use them at all, unless you have written permission.

You’re right. I didn’t ask. Sorry.
I’m new to blogging (only a month in) so didn’t even think about it. All I thought was hey, I’d like to write what I thought of the event and I can use that photo with me in it (someone showed it to me on the day – thought that was pretty cool). I figured, hey, someone took a picture with me in it. Great! I actually inverted the shot to try and make myself more visible.
I hadn’t considered anyone getting upset over it.
So I removed the shots. Next time I guess I’ll remember to ask first.
I’m not a photographer, so this isn’t my area and I don’t know if it’s a frustrating thing or not. But in fairness I figure you might as well stop using my image in the photo. Since I didn’t give consent. Now that this issue has been raised, I’d rather it not be used.
Thanks.

Did this guy ask to use your photo on his Web site and then reverse it or did he just flat out steal it?

I saw the pic and knew I had seen it before because it’s so nice and then I was like “Wait a sec, Brendad doesn’t wear hates with ‘Canada’ inverted! Something’s amiss here!”
