My friends had a baby. Baby's paternal grandfather is an amateur photographer. He has good equipment, but isn't hired for much at all. It is not his full time gig, more like a hobby than anything. So, he is having fun taking photos of the baby. She is a week old and he has already had two shoots with her.
The thing that is really bugging me is that he is on Facebook, as are two of this baby's other grandparents, and numerous aunts and uncles. This guy is watermarking the photos he posts on Facebook and offering them up for purchase by family and friends.
I think it is tacky. One would think that just to be a nice guy he would allow people to right click and save them. It is not as if he has to print out anything. And he is not watermarking them so they are not taken to use for advertising or something of the like. He is doing it strictly so that people have to pay to have them.
Do you think he is right or wrong?
