Request For Use Of Photo's

[squatty420]

I'm asking this to the entire group.

Have any of you ever received an email from a Cay E. Cross from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission?

I received the following email from this person:

Your photos are quite wonderful and we are looking for high resolution digital photos (300 dpi and 5" x 7") for our young people's classroom brochures. Unfortunately, we can only pay $25 but we give full credit.
Would you be interested in working with us at such a low price? Our students would just love these images.
Thanks for your consideration and best of luck to you.
Cay Cross
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission

I sent an email back to her asking some specific questions and I got the exact same response. My questions were NOT answered. I believe that this is BS. What's ya'lls opinions????

Thanks!

from a quick google of thier site it looks like Cay is the asst. editor of the magazine. if it came from her office the addres should end with "@wildlife.org". If that is the case i would say it is legit.

I don't know how you replied, but if you started a new e-mail, as oposed to to replieing to her e-mail, it could be the reason for getting a canned responce.

if you find the it looks like someone else tring to use her credentials i would contact

greg.jenkins@wildlife.org

he is the editor.

What purpose does it serve to ask everyone? Ever thought of calling them?

The purpose is to get other people's opinions from this site since this is obviously where the person saw my images and decided to send me an email inquiring about my work. I wanted to know if anyone else from this site had ever dealt with these folks before.

In answer to your question, yes Cay is for real. I spoke with her yesterday and she is working for a reputable group. She also responded to my emails without a problem. I know of several other people she has contacted.
