I suppose I should have felt flattered that I was the photographer he paid and the rest would soon be out of business.
I didn't.
These photographers were complete fools (yes, I have already admitted it, I was once guilty of somewhat similar mistakes).
Not only were they subsidizing the marketing of another business by working free, they were taking paid work from me and and all photographers, and they were contributing heavily to the demise of the print magazines that DO pay for our work by eliminating the designer's need to pay for advertising.
