You know I think we've all experienced some sort of jealousy issues from our competitors in some way or another "Photographers" and "Models" and now apparently to small businesses "Trixies" and "The Edge" as a photographer I have recently developed a relationship with "The Edge" I worked a promotional shoot for "The Edge" with a friend of mine "Elisabeth Brown" shortly after I posted the pictures "Trixies" took me off of their friends list? But how ever I was never concerned about it because I just don't take Facebook that serious LOL,
Addressing the "Trixies"and "Rebecca Carey" issue...
Approximately about a month ago I participated in a event with the "Glamour Photography Club of Oklahoma" this event was a "Lingerie Shoot" and one of the models was "Rebecca Carey" from what I can understand "Trixies" is stating that was a "Trixies" shoot but however that was a "Glamour Photography Club of Oklahoma" event... it was not for "Trixies!!" Now from some of the feedback I've been getting "Trixies" and "Rebecca Carey" are demanding that I pull the pictures down that I tagged "The Edge" with that I took, the pictures are of "Rebecca Carey" with "The Edge" logo at the bottom "Trixies" and "The Edge" both order from the same wholesalers the outfits that "Rebecca Carey" had on "The Edge" also carries, seeing how I am the photographer that shot the photos and that legally owns the copyrights to them, I took it up on myself to give "The Edge" full use of the pictures in any advertisement!!
My thoughts on Trixies...
I've never had any issues with "Trixies" using any of my pictures... they have always tagged themselves with a few pictures that I have taken and they have been always more than welcome to use the photographs?? And if "Trixies" wanted to put their logo above mine I would have been more than happy to have done that!! I will be more than happy to discuss this with Trixies further personally..
Being competitive in a professional matter...
I remember a time when being competitive was how a person or persons carry themselves in business where people are polite and courteous and that took pride also in the way there business looked, also being competitive with their pricing... but it seems today there's more cutthroat and underhanded competition such as badmouthing and trying to ruin someone's reputation I know for a fact I've been a victim of that situation!! But however I'm getting that straightened out ;)
Last words about "Holly" the owner of "The Edge"
Holly is a very down to earth person and I don't think I've ever heard her say anything in a hateful manner towards anybody other than to express her concerns with the issues at hand, Holly has become a good friend of mine and she does take great pride in both of her stores and the way she conducts herself with the customers and she's very professional!!
Let's all treat each other with respect
sincerely, Jerry Barr
