Barbara Bundage is the owner of the company. In my conversation with her we discussed ownership and copyright of said photographs. I will maintain ownership and copyright of all material handed over to them. However I am licensing them to sell my work on a royalty basis, since I am not paid up front for the work. This is just a vehicle used to get your work out there and over a period of time start receiving an occasional check in the mail. They do however retain certain rights and privileges but at this point in time I am not too terribly concerned, I think the exposure might be beneficial. If and when I take that Pulitzer shot, then we'll talk serious money. The other positive is that now my wife will be a little easier to convince that I need that new camera.
I just thought it might be of interest to others of you that carry the same hopes and dreams that I do to make the investment in time and material now rather than later. As some of you pointed out, they didn't leave the room laughing, instead they encouraged me to continue. I would like to pass that same encouragement on to the rest of you.
