General Stock Discussion / Re: Shutter Village ??
« on: January 26, 2009, 20:22 »
The comment posted here claiming that Shutter Village is subsidized by the Irish government is false. To avoid miscommunication or a misunderstanding allow me to put facts straight, Shutter Village is not subsidized by the Irish government.
On the www.shuttervillage.com website there is a reference to our involvement in a program with the local Enterprise Ireland office. For those of you who dont know what this is; it is a support system that exists in every county in Ireland where EI (Enterprise Ireland) help new start-up business get off the ground. This help is in the form of advice and guidance and it is open to every type of business. Shuttervillage.com has NOT received any funding or subsidizes so I dont believe its fair to give a start-up business any bad press over the way government have wasted taxpayers money.
In relation to comments that some images on the www.shuttervillage.com website are low quality this is because Shutter Village started out with a goal of helping amateur photographers get a start in the industry and initially we accept a certain number of low quality images in the hope that we could help amateur photographers improve their work. We are working through a process of phasing out any low quality images before we move into the Rights Managed industry.
Yes, we know the law in regards to proper licensing and business practices.
Iriz, your comments have been noted by several of our member photographers who are quiet offended. As I presumed you are a photographer you are aware of the pixel quality of a cheap mobile phone so please back up your comment by identifying the images on our website that would meet the pixel quality of a cheap mobile phone.
Holgs, up to present we have 73 photographers. Not all of the 73 contributed but I can assure you majority of them did.
To end this, please allow me to thank everyone for your feedback. We are new in this business so we appreciate all types of feedback so we can learn from our mistakes, improve our business and move forward.
Once again, thank you very much for your time.
