Hi,

I agree strongly with Roger Wesson about not letting your photos out of your 
possession, and with the advice given about a tightly worded written 
agreement.

To some people, the photos taken by others are like library books that you 
*really* want. When you don't have them they are the most desirable things 
in the world. But once you have them in your hands they easily become *ho-
hum*, and returning them becomes a real bind - with none of the urgency 
that accompanied the desire to get it/them in the first place.

And the same with promises to pay. Unless the person has a known history, 
I'd suggest money up front.

You have unique images, and I suggest they be treated and valued as such. 
You might gently suggest this in your correspondence with the interested 
person.

Brian
