Getting Paid for Photographs

I have just been paid a moderately decent sum of money by these guys:

http://www.bananasplitprods.com

for the use of this image which they spotted on flickr:

Image

It will be used as part of a TV advert for Taggart which will be broadcast in September.

I retain all image rights but they are allowed to use it in relation to Taggart for the duration of 2007.

I need to think of a way to spend my ill-gotten gains. :D

Yes thanks but I look pretty scabby at the moment. I managed to avoid the dreaded "boaby rot" which was so cruelly predicted by Hollowhorn.

Er... to quickly divert my mind from this particular image and return to the original one: I've always been rather fond of this building, and am amazed that it has survived the wholesale devastation of this area.

Is it what it seems, i.e. a larger warehouse plonked on top of the original?

I was down that way recently and there was a little backstreet garage business operating out of part of the ground floor.

EDIT

I just checked and it is a storage business. Here's a photie.

back onto the pox, the scars never heal, I had it years back and you only notice them on my hest as they look like someone stubbed a fag out on me.

On the gums and eye lids are terrible, I had them, no back door ones for me thankfully.

Oh aye, nice pic btw John.

Hope the remuneration provided was adequate

Where I had spots on my gums you can see right through to the teeth below - gruesome.

I'm not coy, I got 300 quid.
