I find it rather opportunistic for these folks to be selling photos that should be public record anyway. If you'll note, at the top of the page they are asking for donated photos to augment their photo database.

Anotherwords, we're not talking about photographers who need to support themselves. We're talking about an agency that is trying to make a buck. And after all the funds that have already been raised, and the pittance that has found it's way to the victim's relatives, I'm not willing to send one more dime to a "charity".

Sorry, I don't see this as a valid fundraiser for the victims. I see this as a way for the site managers to make a buck.

Could be. I still enjoyed the photos. With all the controversy around the fund raising, I would hard pressed to give to anyone "claiming" to be in support of the victims, without knowing my funds were going (@90%+) directly to the victims and then know how.

I agree with you.

I kind of thought that $25 per photo seemed a bit high as well... and the photo's are donated? sheesh! Something does seem a bit a-stray with this site, you are right.
