ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

So I got told a little while ago by a fellow skater (Isaac) seeing my picture in the concrete wave magazines current issue advertismnets. And he was telling me that it was for a sunglasses company from America called troy optics, who I'd never had contact with or even heard of them for that matter. So I just told him that It couldn't of been me. But recently when I was talking to Pete, he backed up Isaacs story and I checked out the online concrete waves current advertisments, and sure enough it was a photo of myself in one of the lenses of the sunnies in the picture. here's the link http://www.concretewavemagazine.com/magazine/current-issue-adsand
Click on troy optics and have a geeze, the picture has been reflected and is in black and white to this orginal

So I've sent them an email a couple days ago no reply yet. Just curious about what you would think of this situation and if they didn't end up replying to emails???

spono'd!.........hit em up!
Shit, that's damn good.
Man i'd hit them up for sponsorship or some royalties hahah. I'd pay it as you.
Just give it time and they should get back to you, if not keep trying.
Better get some product for it hahah
Hahaha indeed so a box of sunnies for ASRA users it is then????
Dude!! A lifetimes worth of concrete wave magazines on the tab of Troy Optics. Who took this photo? Rightfully that is who owns it not you unfortunately. If you didn't sign a release waiver for this photo to Troy then they are using you image illegally and owe you some bread or something. Although, with that being said perhaps it being on a public forum means something. I would servilely doubt it though.
o wow, defiantly try squeeze something out of them!
Timbo took the photo dani, so yesss of course!!!!!! I do owe timbo if anything did come out of this that's for sure.Nice Pic buddy. I have another little thing going on with this picture as well from a company in the us who designs skate shirts thats in the making as we speak hahah!!!!
they say if you think you have got what it takes to be sponsered get in touch with them.

You quite clearly has what it takes your in their ad!
Pfft photographer??? He gets the left overs hahah. But damn straight, both of you own it so you can claim rights.
No permission, no use... unless there are some real nice incentives there from Troy optics.
Liking the case of sunglasses for all the crew lol

He replied and said perfect just what i was looking for!!!!! he said he will do up a design and so on, and if he sells 5+ shirts then he will shout me some of the shirts.
