Schmap Guides Short-List, Schmort-List

December 11th, 2007 | 2 Comments

I got a message in my Flickr account from Schmap, saying that one of my photos had been “short-listed” for inclusion in their upcoming edition of their Hawaii travel guide. Sounds cool, right? Then there’s this:

While we offer no payment for publication, many photographers are pleased to submit their photos, as Schmap Guides give their work recognition and wide exposure, and are free of charge to readers. Photos are published at a maximum width of 150 pixels, are clearly attributed, and link to high-resolution originals at Flickr. [Emphasis mine.]

Uh, no. I hit the enclosed link to withdraw my photo from consideration so fast, it should have made their web site spin.
