Re: Response to advertisement for images

["Mitchell P. Warner" <indepth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies are in order to Painet.  I responded to another photographers
misinterpertation of the original ad from Painet, thereby compounding the
assumption (and we all know what ASS-U-ME ing produces) that they were
paying 50 cents FOR the image rights.   WRONG.  They are willing to pay .50
per image just to review it.  After that they apply fotoQuote standards.
See below for not from Painet:

We are a stock photo agency.  We represent photographers on the Internet. 
Do you know of any other stock photo agencies who will pay photographers 
for the oportunity to review their work?  If so, please respond to this 
email.

We provide a service to photographers, as do other agencies, by marketing 
photos to the industry.  We use the industry standard fotoQuote software 
to determine prices based on use, size and circulation.

Please circulate our notice, but please get the facts straight.

Best regards,
