I received this email in my inbox this morning. Perhaps I’m getting cynical in my (relatively) old age, but I’m surprised anyone would want any of my pictures for anything serious.

Hi xxxxxxx,
I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has

Schmap Paris Guide, to be published early January 2009.

Clicking this link will take you to a page where you can:

ii) Submit or withdraw your photo from our final selection
phase.
iii) Learn how we credit photos in our Schmap Guides.
iv) Browse online or download the fifth edition of our
Schmap Paris Guide.
While we offer no payment for publication, many
photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap
Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and
are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a
maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and
link to high-resolution originals at Flickr.
Our submission deadline is Tuesday, December 16. If you

updated frequently – photos submitted after this deadline
will be considered for later releases).
Best regards,
