Album Cover Fee Story Followup - An Open Letter From The Photographer

29 Jan 2015 • diyphotography.net

I do not like being in the spotlight and am a very private person. There is a reason I stay behind the camera. By no choice of my own, I have been forced into the national spotlight to be ridiculed and pressured into acquiescing to this couple’s demands to save my business. To my supporters, thank you for your encouragement, understanding, and willingness to hear the entire story.

I jumped on this bandwagon too and now I’m feeling I may have rushed to judgement. It’s easy to take sides when you don’t know the whole story. And I don’t even realy even know the industry myself. Maybe we should all try to lighten up a bit.

This laser beam that the Internet can shine on you when you displease it is honestly a bit scary. Makes me glad I only have a small blog and I’m not a huge Internet somebody - though that’s no guarantee of protection.
