Default Who owns what

Nice picture Richard.

I had a battle with the photographer who took the shots for Street Machine. He was employed by SM but claimed the pics as his own.

I pushed and shoved and finally I got a complete set of original files. The photographer was able to sell the pics to a French car magazine and also a poster company.

All I was expected to receive was the "honor" of having my car featured in Street Machine.

I will add that SM did "ask" before they sold of the picks but when the question "what’s in it for me?" is raised things don't go well.

After my perseverance though I do have an excellent record of my car and I had printed 4 very large framed pics over my TV in my lounge.
