"A good photograph is one that communicate a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective." - Irving Penn

I gotta stop reading your posts David.

The contract was only about what I had to deliver (ie the photo he ended up choosen), him paying for travel, equipment etc...(me having to pay for food etc..) It doesn't say anything about who owns all the photographs. Thanks.

Sweet deal is right. I guess the right thing to do is to ask him. I just thought I run it pass you guys first to see what you all have to say.
