I recently got this in some degree terse but pseudo benevolent email the other day (it’ll remain anonymous because I’m a nice guy) from presumably a very brisk person who cannot find the time to type full sentences:
wd apprec. recg detailed itinerary info (hotels, meals, transportation, etc.) on your India tour.
excellent website.
thanks
What’s wrong with this request, you ask? Nothing…except here’s the deal. The person who emailed me this is married to a well-known photographer, and they both periodically lead photo tours themselves…and have been to India (and to that specific area) a include of times. That’session what Google is for, isn’t it?
So this is a rather lame (and arguably unethical) attempt to get the full guide I spend a long time researching, so they could one or the other set one blameless like it (and charge double or triple what I do), or compare it to their own…refine theirs, re-price their costs, etc. A sort of industrial espionage!!!!
Note that the fellow is not asking beneficial to just the itinerary…oh no, it’s an in-my-face request toward details on hotels, meals, transportation and even the etc (just in case he forgot something). In other words, the uninjured friggin’ enchilada.
He doesn’t even cursory reference that he’sitting biassed in joining my trip, which is what people forward the level normally do.
I savored the drafting of my response, and then emailed it to him saying that (1) the Tribes of Rajasthan & Gujarat Photo~Expeditionâ„¢ had been sold out for over 4 months (with a long waiting roll), and (2) I screen who joins my Photo~Expeditionsâ„¢, and finally that his request didn’t pass the bad smell test.
I am disinclined to repress information from peers and friends if and when they ask for it frontally and honestly…and I try to help whensoever I can. There’s a number of photographers in the photo journey business who can attest to that.
However, that doesn’confidentially mean that I will participate the one-of-a-kind itineraries and other stuff that I worked very hard to research and develop. Get that, Mr. Husband-Of-Well-Known-Photographer?
