New Mexico and Colorado

Carol and I on a hike up into the northern part of the Pecos Wilderness south of Taos.

Pretty sorry composition, but the subjects of the photo are remarkable.

Did you hear that Chevrolet has contacted us to get permission to use the old photo of Adair and me in my grandfather's pickup truck?  They found the photo on Kate's Flickr page of scanned photos and want to use it in a commercial. Adair and I will each get about $600 plus royalties.  And then another $500 for us all to split for the ownership of the photo.

Hello Vaughn & Adair,

Attached is the photo I told you both about on the phone. We would like to use this photo in a commercial for Chevy and we would need to get permission from both of you to do that. 

I have also attached three releases I need signed. 

The one titled Hamilton-GSP-PhotoLicense.pdf is for the use of the actual photo. That needs to be signed by whomever owns the actual photo. We will pay the $500 license fee to that person.

The ones titled:

AdairHamiltonGSP-Photo-LikenessRelease

VaughnHamiltonGSP-Photo-LikenessRelease

are for each of you to sign. These releases are stating that you grant us permission to use your likeness, and that you will be willing to sign a SAG contract if your photo is used in the final commercial. The sag contract pays a base rate of $592 and includes residuals. You could make into the thousands of dollars depending on how long the commercial runs. 

Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this paperwork or anything about the commercial.

Thanks!

Colleen
