No, I received no response after mailing the pics. I made no inquiries.

Paul,
Did you get a "Don't Bother" e-mail? I was glad that I hadn't started
working on it yet.

I sent them four pics. Never heard from them.

I meant to say this last week but got busy. I am now really perplexed
by Pentax Canada (maybe shouldn't be).
They ask for photos... for free.. without any proactive information on
terms of use. I don't know how many people from the PDML wrote them or
what they wrote. I did inquire, and the answers I received back were
satisfactory, and though not having the power and force of a public
document or Offical Rules of Submission, I was preparing to ready some
shots and send them in.
Then last week we get the message that because of the inquiries or
nature of the the inquiries it has (I'm paraphrasing and possibly
coloring a little - I don't have the original message) 'become more
trouble than it's worth and other sources will be found for the photos'.
I don't know about anyone else, but doesn't this seem just a little bit
odd? I realize that Pentax Canada is not Pentax Japan, and that even
one individual at Pentax Canada cannot represent that division. But
doesn't it just rub a little bit the wrong way to ask customers for
their best photos, not proactively provide what would be considered
fairly normal information, and then withdraw the request when it becomes
too much of a bother? I'm not implying there was anything shady... I'm
more implying that this is a surprising way of doing business.
