The tiki mag is a nicely done publication, but it's not cool of the publishers to simply pull photos from Tiki Central for use in their publication without giving any credit. I was looking through an issue yesterday and was surprised to find 2 pics I had shot during the NorCal Tiki Crawl printed in it. I have no problem with someone using my pics for such purposes for free, but it's just lazy to not at least make a minimal effort to credit the owner of those pics. Since they were obviously taken from TC, it would be very easy to track down the owners through their (my) profile.

I realize tiki is a pretty small sub-culture in the grand scheme of things, and I certainly don't expect to get rich or become suddenly famed for my photography, but it's just not good mana to use them without permission and offer no credit when it's so easy to do so.
