Flipping through the latest issue of Import Tuner and what do I see... - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

**TROLL** · 08-11-2008, 05:22 PM

So on my lunch break today I was killing time and went to flip through the latest issue of Import Tuner (Oct. 08). I was looking for the article about the Supra on the cover, and in my search I landed on the opening page of the article they wrote on Formula D... with my photo as the main art! I had sent them some photos to look at but hadn't heard back. Obviously I have attempted to contact them again to talk about the 15+ photos of mine that they used throughout the article, so we'll see where that goes. They did give me the photo credit though on the first page, so thats a good start.
Anyway, it was definitely a surprise and I'm happy, but not at the same time since the communication on their end is seriously lacking for me to find out this way.
Scanned the pages though to check out... look closely and you may seem some local TST sights making it big in the pages of Import Tuner

Name em if you find em!

I'm pretty sure every photo on these 2 pages is mine...

Awesome that they published your pics, they should have at least let ya know. I'm sure they have some sort of disclaimer about material sent to them being theirs to do whatever with, but very cool nonetheless.

**TROLL** · 08-11-2008, 07:08 PM

Ha, no thats not how it works... I dont want to really get into all of that on here right now though... just wanted to post the photos since I though some people would think it was cool.

Sykopathik · 08-11-2008, 07:11 PM

Oh well in that case.... refer solely to the first word of my reply. Ignore the rest.

**TROLL** · 08-11-2008, 07:14 PM

ha thanks man... it was definitely a surprise to flip open the mag and see it...

DPancoast · 08-11-2008, 07:16 PM

very cool dude. i always wanted to send pics into them, but never did. not that im a good photog or anything but i always had nice pics of different events I had been too.

Erik · 08-11-2008, 07:17 PM

thats pretty awesome! id be stoked to see that.

garrettej8 · 08-11-2008, 07:30 PM

that's pretty cool, but some compensation is in order

Drftpretty · 08-11-2008, 08:13 PM

Troll, if you ever need a fluffer for a future shoot please pm me.

You do take some really sick photos. Whenever I get my beast lowered and finally get the FMIC on (short a jpipe) I need you to take some pics!

^ x2 nice job

05suby · 08-12-2008, 03:03 AM

good job bryan

grimm · 08-12-2008, 08:49 AM

Congrats I suppose...I'd be upset about it, but i guess you did give them to them.

The photos are nice

CarbonIS · 08-12-2008, 09:21 AM

pretty awesome bryan congrats!

KingOfDelco · 08-12-2008, 10:05 AM

well, i was gonna say copywright infringment , but since you sent them the pics, not sure you would win that lawsuit. lol. but some photog in philly did filed a suit for similar things and it looks good for him.

btw- calling them will get you nowhere fast. Have a lawyer write a letter. that always gets a resonse.

unless you explicitly told them they could use the photos.... how exactly did you word your letter when u sent in the pics??

**TROLL** · 08-12-2008, 11:42 AM

I'm not getting ahead of myself here... I expect that as part of a very large media company they are familiar enough with usage rights, and that this one just slipped through the cracks.

brucehunglo · 08-12-2008, 12:11 PM

congrats for your pics submitted being used by a mag of that stature(always respected the photography in that mag). let us know how if any compensation works for that.

redline · 08-12-2008, 12:20 PM

Turn it into money in other ways!
