Don your discussion on the stock photo & Walmart was a bit off. Your discussion lead listeners to believe that Walmart licensed the image. The Petapixel article noted the company who actually licensed the image, and the created the products which ended up in Walmart. So in this case the big corporate entity is not the one taking advantage of a photographer. Really enjoy your podcast.
Great Podcast from a incredible photographer love it so far. The time fly by
