However, it's important that these pictures get out there. It's no good to
hide them in the drawers just because we didn't get paid for it. This can't
be based on money alone. If it were for the money, I would have stayed with
flipping burgers.
On the other hand, all the effort should be adequately rewarded. We probably
need to decide from case to case, if it is an investment, a good cause or
just a way to get something for free.
In the case of Agfa, they have no money, not even enough to pay their
employees. The unions would have them for breakfast, if they would consider
spending money on a competition, right now.
