Title: I'm finally in a Magazine!!!!!
Post by: SuperSlideStyle on October 09, 2009, 07:53:36 PM
I submitted a picture of my X back in May going through the water crossing from the Mojave Road Xcursion of April of 09 and it actually made the Readers Rides in Offroad magazine Nov. '09!!!!!  I want to thank everyone at SCCX for their help in building my Xterra to what it currently is (not counting the motor rebuild I'm doing right now.  That's a different thread.) and for the great ideas you have given me   Hopefully I will see all of you again with a fresh motor for some winter wheelin!

Here is the original picture taken at the Mojave road Xcursion in April of '09

Now I just need to finish the motor and add more skid plates and stronger bumpers.

Commercial magazine?

Did you get a written release from the photographer before publishing their work?

 ;D  Just funning - hopefully I got a photo credit. Normally a magazine requires a release statement be signed by the photographer or at least an e-mail statement giving permission to publish their work.

Thats awesome!

regarding the photographer agreement... i don't think they require releases with readers rides being that the photos are sent in by the reader.

but with regular articles you are probably correct.

Their work?!  That's my X built by me with the help of all of you guys!  They're the ones who needed my permission to print my picture.  That's how I see it.

However, looking at the BIG scheme of things:  THANK YOU PAUL!!!!!!!!  That picture would not have been possible without your excellent photography skills.

I had submitted that picture in April 2009 just after Paul had posted it.  I actually gave up on seeing it in the Readers Rides section of some of my supbscriptions I have.  That is, until I went for the mail one October afternoon...
Goes to show you that there is hope.   8)
