Midnight evil posted that he sent free calenders to the ones whos photos were used in the calender, what did you expect the guy to do? Make a 13 calenders? 1 for him and 12 for the 12 other folks?
If someone didnt want him to make money using their pictures then they should not have sent him a picture.

But there are those that are painting the posters as being a real pain, and I consider that a small price to pay for the free pics he got with very little effort.
Someone commented that he was doing everybody a big favor by making the calender, and may never want to do it again because of the evil posters.
That's the kind of BS that makes people decide to not bother doing things.
Who was doing a favor for whom?

He did something very simple. Asked people to send pics.
He explained why - he was going to pic his 12 favorite pics and make a calendar from them.
That's it. Everything in those two simple statements.
In return - he got a bunch of people whining that they didn't get a chance to "win" the "contest" because they didn't know about it. He didn't give them enough time. He even got heat from an HDF admin for not making HDF aware of the "contest" ... even though it was never a contest, there were no winners and no losers. It was simply - I'm making a calendar. If you send me a pic of your bike I may choose it as one of the 12 I use.
Then, he sent out 12 free calendars, even paid the postage on them.
Huh? Never want to profit off others pictures again????? What a joke.

In the old days, we used to call that "Doing something nice". It's rare for people to do anything nice anymore because doing so often just results in a bunch of people whining and moaning about it.

The guy has 6 posts, he got you to send him photo's for a contest that HDF never authorized to happen, looks like folks got took for their free sent pics and he's making the bucks, case closed.
