Consider this a rant.
I got an e-mail from some clown named Pete Fletcher and this idiot had the audacity to claim that I was using his photos without permission. Note. I make a point of using only open source material. That means photos from manufacturers or military organizations.
I got the photos he's referring to from the Textron Air Land Facebook page. That means one of two things to me. Either Textron Air Land is a bush league organization that isn't using proper controls over the images of their products OR they're allowing silly little bitches to enter their space and sully their reputation.
Either way it sucks.
I'm done with Textron until they clarify image use across all their domains.

Solomon,
ReplyDeleteTextron AirLand has not posted any of Peter Fletcher's Scorpion Jet photos on our Facebook page. We did share a link to a blog where Peter himself shared his images, as he has every right to share his creative work on a public blog. We do not own any of Peter's images, and we are not using any of them on our website or in other marketing materials. If your policy is to use only "open source material" then you should first check to be sure the images are actually open source and free of any usage restrictions. We always check with any photographer and get the proper permission (or purchase rights to the images) before using them.
Best regards,
Dave Sylvestre,
