From a total stranger, claiming to represent a corporate entitiy, 3rd hand.
It was handled in a manner that in normal business terms would be deemed "unprofessional". The PUG operates in a more professional manner.
If a personal aquaintance of mine (which I realize Marco was to some) came and made the request it would be one thing. But this was to be used by a large corporate entity, in an effort to market their products, I would assume, on numerous occasions. I'm not sure I would call that a casual photo display.
If this was not Pentax Canada, but another entity making a similar request, would the reactions be the same?

It was handled pretty much as I'd expect a casual photo display to be done, presented without promise of payment or request for copyrights, just for entertainment value and fun. Heck, one of the reasons I had no qualms about it from the word go was that there *wasn't* any legalese and "fine print" involved. Anyone who didn't want to participate could have simply ignored the whole thing. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
