In the past few weeks I’ve had two separate requests to use my photos for commercial purposes. That’s gratifying, but both of them were a bit odd.
One guy wanted to make “Happy Birthday” greeting cards with the photo showing a group of penguins. Inside, it says something sentimental and has a long description of emperor penguins. I’m not sure how that goes with “Happy Birthday”, but whatever. The second request was from someone running on-line novelty company who wanted to make a bookmark of the two kissing penguins, with his dog Photoshopped in there too. Huh? Uh, okay.
It’s all small-time stuff, so I told both that they could use the photos with the caveat that if they made any real money, I should get a cut.
If I start seeing my pictures in Walmart, however, I’m going to chase these guys down extract a piece of the action.
