I explained in the e-mail that my boss for our NASCAR images has a stock sight and that we submit our images to several different news wires, like Cal Sport Media, ICON, AiWire, etc. I also explained that I often to work for Chez and Y101. <br /> Now, you do not really need credentials to shoot Bluesfest, and it was nothing to do with getting a free pass, cause it is a lot of work to submit images that I am not making any money for, but the pass helps me by-pass the larger crowds which can be really hard to get around in.<br /> So my reply I got back was "I'm not sure about how this is a benefit to us?" Then stated I should go through the radio station.<br /> I was completely at a loss for words? Oh well, no big deal, I will just go and shoot like all the other years....After I wrote an e-mail back stating that I thought you might have wanted to promote Bluesfest outside of Ottawa and even Canada, and seeing that I have submitted to these news wires I would be one of the ONLY ones submitting to the US????<br /> But then the story gets better, today, I read about how $1.5 million was donated to promote tourism and such to Ottawa not only from other provinces, but other countries.<br /> I am not saying I deserve credentials or am the best photographer in Ottawa, but I would like to know what other qualifications I would need to obtain a photographer's pass.<br />See U there<br />Leonswitzertotalphotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14941573133299509713noreply@blogger.com
