Too right Nico. Good stuff. This is a big problem with climbing photography in this country.

Depends on circulation of course.

Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but for anyone interested in learning more about photography business practices specifically relating to outdoor photography, then check out this US based photographers group - TOPA. www.t-o-p-a.com There are some good resources there and an active forum where business practices and rates are discussed — also which clients to watch out for because they have bad business practices! It’s not an open forum — but I’d be happy to vouch for any photographers I know.
