The Buzz, Please Ask Permission Next Time
I’m not a good photographer (actually, I’m not a photographer at all) but whenever I get requests from people (if they can use my photo for something), I say yes and allow them to. I’m not one who sells my photos.  When I’m in a good mood, I actually go the extra mile and send them the original high-resolution copy (or copies) sans the watermark. As long as permission is sought prior to use, I no longer ask for any attribution. I don’t even charge. I’m nice like that (maybe to compensate for the absence of talent and skill)
So to the producers/writers of The Buzz, I don’t wanna make a big deal out of this (because I love your show dearly! like sobra! and I love Boy and Kris and Ruffa!), but please, the next time you use my photo:
- Kindly ask permission, or
- Acknowledge the use of the photo, or
- If you don’t have time to do any of the above, do not remove or edit out my watermark.
The photo above, was used for their segment on Vicky Belo which aired last Sunday, February 15, 2009.
