Don.

Get a grip.

How, pray tell, do you deduct this particular piece of Sherlock-like logic?

Just because I don't support your insane, ranting, misinformed crusade?

[minoltaman]

You're an idiot.

[minoltaman]

[minoltaman]

[minoltaman]

must be a hong kong thing

[minoltaman]

plenty-o-pirates over where you are

[minoltaman]

matter-o-fact today's pirate is from hong kong or something like that he says

go figure

Let me put this into small words so you can understand, peabrain.

Being unsupportive of YOU does not mean that I support image piracy.

Being unsupportive of YOU does not mean that I support Stewart.

Being unsupportive of YOU does not mean that I belong to Innographics.

Just because he has the same name as a famous person does not mean he is trying to pass off as that person.

Not everyone from Hong Kong is involved in piracy.

I probably have more to lose from image piracy than you, Don. I am a commercial photographer, and I've been published and exhibited. Unless some freak out there has an inexplicable jones for fish pictures, I don't think you have anything to fear.

I won't ask for an apology for your insane, unsubstantiated accusations, but please rest assured that I will be taking a keen interest in anything else you might aim at me and my profession. Me AND my lawyer.

around 90% of all software used in hong kong biz is pirated

[minoltaman]

ask microsoft

[minoltaman]

pirating in your part of the world is why software is so high priced today

quite a bit off on those remarks.....and fishkeeping is the second largest hobby in the world behind stamp collecting.

The average price of a small book with ok fish pictures is about $50-75us. What is available now is extremely dated.

And yes, I have some of the best pics in the world of african cichlids. A whole lot of them too. matter o fact I will be uploading about 6000 shots real soon 'ol boy.

I also have been a breeder for over 10 years, I think I know my market for fish pics.

I have had three offers to be published since dec 20th. London twice with graffiti and once with green pics and autumn pics and animals.

I also have the best mustang sally pics on the planet, that would be my most "famous" client. Shipped them some stuff they could give there mothers for christmas. They also have a couple fans around the world.

Not to mention I have the best calendar shot library my local area period. That should be enough for you. Yup, I'm just a hack shootin with a lowly crappy old prosumer.

[minoltaman]

I get emails almost everyday from people wanting to just use my stuff or thanking me or asking how I did something. It is a good feeling. But I am just a hack.
