November 25 2004:
Triplet


Just over a year ago,I received a phone call from a design company expressing interest in the use of one of my photos to be used as part of the presentation pack that accompanies a $25 commemorative coin produced by the British Royal Mint on behalf of the Solomon Islands.

Apart from receiving payment, I never heard any more and have been meaning to find out how my photo was used, assuming that it was.

I was somewhat pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from the same design company today asking if the same photo could be used for another version of the coin. But I had to seek out the copy of the agreement to find out whether they would have to make a further payment to me, and looking at it, it seems that I had made that proviso.

Stuck yet again for inspiration, here is my little magnifier resting on the agreement that I drafted out.

I still haven’t seen how my original photo was used, but you can see it HERE on the Airliners.net website.

Cropped and Resized
Adjusted in Levels and Contrast

Excellent shot here. Good you had something to read the fine print. Now you should sell this one to Triplet for their ads.
