There are rebates and there are rebates

Just as it happened to Benji Galloway, it happened to Jeff Hedges too. Some guy shows up at skatepark and snaps a few pictures, then offers you a couple hundred bucks if you sign a release. You never know where it will end up. Sometimes you’re on a TV box, sometimes it’s website or a mail in rebate. The product is an LED light from a company called Manfrotto. The rebate was spotted in the wild at a cmaera shop in SLC, and you can download a pdf from venerable B&H Photo. Ffej was not bothered by it, but he said he might look for a one-time use clause if he gets approached again. Never trust a photographer. You can trust me though, I’m non-practicing.
