Fred,

You're welcome!

I can not see theb picture. The first screen I get is asking me "name and password". I don't know the password

I have just visited your site and I must say that the photographs are really great. I was going to put a link in the februari release of my free dance magazine at http://www.xs4all.nl/~fghb/08e.htm

But...

I got a little disapointed when I clicked on the small photographs. On the bigger photograph there was a big text "SAMPLE". I didn't find any good photographs without this word. Perhaps I have to search better. I understand that you want to sell the pictures, but I think it's better to put some good and free photographs on your site and change them from time to time. The result is that you will get more visitors to your site with a bigger chance of people bying the pictures.
If there are only three good quality pictures at your site, I will put a link in my magazine and at my site. In that case it's worth for everybody to visit your site.

Kind regards,

Fred

Fred,

Thanks for visiting www.dspictures.com. I'm glad that you found the pictures 'really great'. Please understand that we are, through the images, representing the pro- fessional dancers themselves. They receive a royalty for the sale of each moderatly-priced picture.

Were we to put a large image up for free, we would, in effect, be cheating the dancers themselves out of the just recompense for the image that they have spent literally thousands of hours developing, and that just wouldn't be right.

I think that you'll find in general, on the Internet (and in life) that you get what you pay for. May personal experience is that in general, things that are free, are worth what you pay for them.

Hopefully you'll still be willing both to recommend dspictures to others, and to support both the dancers represented, and Ballroom Dancing as a whole, by purchasing a picture at some point in the future. It will allow us to continue to capture the images, and will allow the dancers to thrive.

Sincerely
Steve Booth www.dspictures.com

Frida,

Hmm. This should not happen. Exactly where are you 'clicking'? You need to click on the 'Check out our *Free* Picture...' banner, and it should route you to the download page.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for providing a free high quality picture per month!

Of course I will put a link to your site in my dance magazine and on my site.
