Interesting Topic,
Years ago I ran a poker run and there was a helicopter taking photos. I never spoke with anyone from the pic company nor requested/ordered and pics. Sometime later I get a package from this company containing some pics of my boat during this poker run. I can only assume they got my contact info from the event orginizer at the time. The pics were not bad but not great either except for the price list on the enclosed price sheet.
Remember at this point the company sent the pics to me on their own. Nice gift. NOT. Next thing I know another contact from this company stating either return the pics, pay, or be taken to court.
I will leave it to educated guess as to which company this was.
Found it a very ammusing way of conducting business!
Take Care.
Be Careful.

Federal law prohibits them from enforcing any payment on unsolicited mailings and are then considered a gift
they may threaten but they know they cant do anything about it

BOATPIX requires a credit card to see pictures and we've done it this way since about 2006. From 1991 to 2005 you simply had to sign your name or request pictures online. Some folks would forget that they signed with ink or with an ip address. If anyone wants to suggest a poker run for us send me an email at [email protected]. Coincidentally, we are in Key West this week with a helicopter. Meet you at Sloppy Joes!

There is a previous post that lists some incorrect pricing and some opinions. Our pricing is clearly listed on the website. We are the least expensive helicopter boat photography business in the world. Also, the largest.
