Would find a new contractor next time you need something -- bigbadbird 08/12/2016 08:05AM Listen to your wife -- MrBayAreaHokie 08/11/2016 6:24PM Just tell them you want a cut of everything they make off of your picctures ** -- SarahVTHokie24 08/11/2016 1:11PM If I was the landscaper, it would be a no brainer... -- GFallsFan 08/11/2016 12:58PM My delivery was very friendly... -- VTBB 08/11/2016 1:02PM While I get your view...I consider it rather short sighted -- Vienna_Hokie 08/11/2016 12:42PM Jerk move, no question ** -- Baltimore Hokie 08/11/2016 12:35PM There's definitely a question...If I substituted "Home Depot" -- VTBB 08/11/2016 12:59PM Home Depot would hire a contractor to do it -- Baltimore Hokie 08/11/2016 4:39PM I wouldn't care about that either. Your objections are comedic. ** -- bluehokie 08/11/2016 2:21PM Shun ** -- 6GHokie 08/11/2016 12:33PM Jerk move. Listen to your wife. ** -- KeithHokie89 08/11/2016 12:08PM I wouldn't call you a jerk, but I'd have no issue with them taking photos. -- hokiemas 08/11/2016 11:30AM Your wife is correct. Imagine if you were an architect or engineer. -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:03AM I've spent 42 years shooting in the building industry. I guarantee you -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:11AM Can they stop me if shooting from public property? Serious question. -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:19AM Yes, they can make that a real PITA. I've shot projects from the middle of -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:23AM Interesting- I would say no they cannot legally stop you from a picture -- PUAhokie 08/11/2016 12:05PM I had to laugh that as I'm being questioned by SWAT guys -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:16PM Google Maps does it all the time. ** -- 48zip 08/11/2016 12:11PM You misspelled 'galactic overlords'. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:18PM Yeah, for security. Not so much for VTBB though. -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:32AM That's why I think VTBB's "house" is the Bat-Cave entrance. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:36AM They might even break your legs ** -- Brown Water 08/11/2016 11:26AM I had two guys in SWAT gear - I swear to you - come up from below -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:30AM If you had not coordinated, what actual law would you be breaking? ** -- Hokie Bird 94 08/11/2016 3:33PM PhotographerLivesMatter ** -- TomTurkey 08/11/2016 11:36AM Except that it's the cops saying, "Hands up. Don't shoot." ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:40AM To be fair, that's usually something worked out in the contract ** -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 11:06AM Photos are amost never in a contract. It's something that gets discussed -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:17AM What have the 5% of happy clients said when they say no to photographs? -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 11:19AM Invariably, there's something proprietary involved. Or invasion of privacy. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:20AM If copyright isn't specifically transferred, it is still the professional's -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:16AM Copyrights are almost never "transferred", but usage of images is granted. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:18AM Which means his designer still has the rights (usually), correct? ** -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:20AM The designer may still have rights to the drawing (although the contract -- VTBB 08/11/2016 11:51AM Installation, no. Plans/design, yes. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:02PM Correct...so I'm not sure how that applies here. ** -- VTBB 08/11/2016 12:04PM It was a response to your thoughts here (link) -- 48zip 08/11/2016 12:19PM The installation is the product of their design. You're under no obligation -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:09PM Correct. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:21AM WADR, I gather you're not a small businessman (not a knock on you). -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:01AM I actually am. -- VTBB 08/11/2016 11:48AM It's not a "favor for free". It's a time-honored courtesy. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:04PM Asking someone to come into their backyard and take photographs -- VTBB 08/11/2016 12:14PM See my 12:09 installation reply above. I'm not debating you.** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 12:19PM I like to help out the small business guys that do a good job for me -- No Clue 08/11/2016 10:58AM That's part of his thinking, though -- they're not so small -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 11:02AM "high-end" doesn't necessarily mean large. If their assets are below -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:09AM True. I was just pointing out that he at least applied some level of logic -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 11:16AM Befuddled at your response to their request... -- Gobble Gobble 08/11/2016 10:46AM I would have allowed them if you were satisfied. Something to be proud of. ** -- 1MetroHokie 08/11/2016 10:45AM Hmmm, I would be happy that they thought they did a good job -- `lag 08/11/2016 10:40AM If I was happy with their work, I'd let them -- Pylons 08/11/2016 10:38AM Is the landscaping co. taking money out of your pocket or something? -- HokiePHX 08/11/2016 10:33AM What do people think about the contractors that put signs up in your yard? -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 10:23AM I think that's been part of most of the recent agreements I've made ** -- Pylons 08/11/2016 10:39AM Sign in the yard when working is no different than a decal on their truck -- vtbones 08/11/2016 10:35AM He says below that he let them put a sign in his yard. -- USN_Hokie 08/11/2016 10:26AM Jerk move with the landscaper -- VTSnake 08/11/2016 10:21AM I hate the license plate thing to..just buy your car direct from the -- HokiePHX 08/11/2016 10:39AM If I could, I would. ** -- VTSnake 08/11/2016 11:25AM I'm still not sure ... can Nike take a picture of you wearing their shoes? -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 10:25AM Bad analogy. The implication is that you're the advert, not the shoes... -- USN_Hokie 08/11/2016 10:29AM His house is involved -- Nova Hokie 95 08/11/2016 10:33AM What if it's not? -- PUAhokie 08/11/2016 11:58AM The landscaper provided a service which VTBB paid for in full. ** -- Hokie5150 08/11/2016 10:24AM Wife is right ....wife is ALWAYS right.... ** -- DonHo-kieHi 08/11/2016 10:18AM I would have let them use the pics. ** -- reestuart 08/11/2016 10:12AM Yep. When they die, make them return to that state. -- TomTurkey 08/11/2016 10:16AM One of my pet peeves, the crappy dealer license bracket. -- Brown Water 08/11/2016 09:57AM Anything related to the dealer never makes it into my garage ... -- vt90 08/11/2016 10:03AM And stop spraying me with wiper fluid you inconsiderate bum! How dare you -- Brown Water 08/11/2016 10:30AM TBT!!! ** -- reestuart 08/11/2016 10:58AM Anything from the dealer doesn't make it off the lot unless they -- Hokie5150 08/11/2016 10:10AM Yep, take it all off for me or no deal. ** -- Brown Water 08/11/2016 10:28AM Exactly. ** -- Hokie5150 08/11/2016 10:59AM Was the landscaping design your plan or theirs? If it was -- Femoyer Hokie 08/11/2016 09:54AM I paid them to do the design. So it's mine. ** -- VTBB 08/11/2016 09:54AM Deleted.** -- PhotoHokieNC 08/11/2016 11:03AM So an architect can't photo their own buildings? That's BS. ** -- 48zip 08/11/2016 10:57AM Look at this rather large company's website. -- 48zip 08/11/2016 11:08AM Jerk move (hey, you asked)... ** -- WestEndHokie39 08/11/2016 09:41AM The Jerk Store called, they want to know if they can use VTBB's picture... -- USN_Hokie 08/11/2016 09:50AM Did you not look at their pictures before using them? -- PUAhokie 08/11/2016 09:40AM Yes I did... -- VTBB 08/11/2016 09:50AM How are you going to know they're giving you a discount anyway? ** -- reestuart 08/11/2016 11:00AM Because I'm currently paying for maintenance at a given price. -- VTBB 08/11/2016 11:36AM Oh. I thought you had a one time job and wanted a discount -- reestuart 08/11/2016 4:10PM Would you have used them without their pictures? -- PUAhokie 08/11/2016 10:00AM No problem with it, if the job was satisfactory. ** -- HortHokie 08/11/2016 09:32AM ^^^ this ^^^ ** -- FfxStationHokie 08/11/2016 09:35AM What does it hurt you to say yes? -- HokieMacDaddy 08/11/2016 09:30AM I have no problem with it if they did a good job. -- vt90 08/11/2016 09:30AM If they went above and beyond on their job yes -- capitals1 08/11/2016 09:28AM Hope you at least gave them props on a review site. ** -- Hokie Bird 94 08/11/2016 09:25AM I did...even recommended them to friends. ** -- VTBB 08/11/2016 09:54AM I do the same with the cars, but I would have let the landscaper -- BB Hokie 08/11/2016 09:25AM Yeah...I have a little guilt about the landscape. -- VTBB 08/11/2016 09:39AM I don't see how the two situations are related at all. -- USN_Hokie 08/11/2016 09:54AM They actually did put a sign in my front yard while doing the work... -- VTBB 08/11/2016 09:56AM See, I think you would have a much stronger argument in that situation -- USN_Hokie 08/11/2016 10:01AM I am with you 100 percent.
