Comments on: How Do You Feel About the Person Who Sold the Michael Phelps Photo? http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/how-do-you-feel-about-the-person-who-sold-the-michael-phelps-photo/ Bethesda Maryland Real Estate and Stuff Wed, 12 May 2010 09:09:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Eric Blackwell http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/how-do-you-feel-about-the-person-who-sold-the-michael-phelps-photo/#comment-6 Eric Blackwell Wed, 18 Feb 2009 22:08:56 +0000 http://greaterbethesdaonline.com/?p=190#comment-6 That is an interesting question. I personally would not sell it. Not out of sympathy to Michael or anything like that...more because I respect peoples' privacy. I tire of the photo parasites and hangers on that live off of people like him...and having to pay a mortgage doesn't change right and wrong...just takes a little more courage to do the same thing. Michael deserves what he gets in the form of negative publicity...and if the sponsors want to stop paying him because is value to them is diminished because folks cannot see him without getting a contact high, then so be it. Yes. Some mistakes are more expensive than others. For him this was big. I do feel sorry for him...but one of the perks of fame and exposure is money. One of the risks of fame and exposure is falling from grace and not only being mortal, but making the same mistakes that many make. <abbr><em>Eric Blackwell’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.ericonsearch.com/best-blog-post-practices-examples/" rel="nofollow">Best Blog Post Practices - Examples</a></abbr></em> That is an interesting question.
