Strange!!!!

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???

I thought about sending them an email asking why they used my image without permission,but i think they'd just ignore it till they got one from a law firm or the like.Do you think it's worth it?

They should flow you some gear for that (original ad) . Not much cash in it, but the photographer might have a bigger claim than you for $. Photographer probably deserves some cash, skater gets proddy. If they do not reply, let me know, I'll push em from a different angle and they'll get the message. I know someone that knows someone that owes that person a favour.

That happened to me for awhile but then i got one through. maybe there having problems with there email I dunno aye. I think its best to give them at least one week I mean they can't suddenly take the photo out of there ad in the mag there printed and sent around the world now. If they did care about there business they would reply to emails I'm sure..........
@Tim welll i think if hop knows his stuff maybe we could give him a crack. Iff not Tim i reckon the mention of a law firm or even the law would make them reply pretty quick. But without pushing anything over the top in the first week ;)
