Re: [Killietalk] API is looking for photos (can't we all just getalong?!)
I had contacted Wusong to contribute my limited photo. I would be happy
if more people like to see my pet
and ask me about it. There are many different professional in the
discussion list and "usage of photo" has different
meaning to those who does it for living and those who does it for fun.
I think it would be there would be more "do for fun" type of photo owner
then "professional" type in this discussion list.
Of course if they would like professional quality photo, they should pay
the price for it or negotiate with the professional artist separately
and not on this list.
Isn't that what he does?
Given the fact that english is not our first language, we do hope that
some consideration are being consider when we say something
confusiong or rude.
