Anyway, really none of my business. But feels our freedom to shoot and post took a meaningful step backward today. The threats to this freedom abounds, and if we don't draw the line somewhere, in no time, we won't be able to shoot didily ...
luckily I nearly only shoot portraits ...
SAD!
Why dont you post yours also ... and wait for them to request ... :devil:vince123123 said::thumbsup:
One factor to think about is that the people here don't seem to be paying much heed to these "requests" and I noticed a couple more new threads posting up photographs of the day's events.
jodie, I don't think the threads and comments are aimed at you personally. However, up till now, you were the figure head standing right smack up front and in the middle. Glad you come out to state your case. What no one here will understand is why you helped them, and you did not address this in your post.jodie_tan said:For all i care about this, I just post what they want, obviously its up to ppl here to voice out and say that its wrong for them to do this. Firstly-not official, 2ndly, I worked twice under them as an official and was severly underpaid with my parthners. Those events were hit events.
Secondly, I no longer have association whith them coz they managed to get even mods to help them cover events at really horrific prices. The only rsn I helped them is because I was once an intern under their prod' house. But since I graduated, they shldn't stick these prices up. I agree with Drudkh that its shitty of them to ask me to post their conveyment on Ken111111's thread. But lets us all kindly refrain from adding oil into the fire, let's stick with a plain discussion armed at them.
Ps. Is the thread aimed at me or at my xcompany :sticktong ?I just need to know and handle the situation before everything takes a serious downturn.

vince123123 said:I think its more at the "company". Can I ask what is this company's name? From what I know, there are several organisations involved in the event and we don't want to "blacklist" the wrong organisation inadvertently.
vince123123 said:Just learned from an enquiry with my contact at the events company that there's more than meets the eye. Will update when I have firmer information to share.
sadly 99% that's simply the main reason. 1) they get more publicity, and 2) free photos.smallaperture said:So, in future, photogs should not get conned into some stupid competition just in case it is for the benefit of the organisers to get some great picture for almost nothing. :bigeyes: :bsmilie:
