A couple of years ago, I partook in a little photo contest based on the "Naked in the House" concept. Of course, I won (using a Nikon to boot). Some of you may remember the pictures which, until very recently, were on my website.....
Anyway, some internet hero mentioned to the model that I had pictures of her on my website, and the shit hit the fan. So, for the moment, the images are off my website pending my deciding if I am going to be an ass about it. Now, here's the deal: The Regina Shutterbugs camera club hosted the event, and hired the model. I paid a sum of money to participate. I did not sign any paperwork (release) at all regarding the event or the pictures derived from it, other than to sign the cheque. My take on it is that I own the images and can use them for any non commercial purpose that I deem appropriate, including spreading them all over the world if I decide that such poor taste is appropriate (I just might on this one).
