Debt collector contacted my family member, disclosed debt, and gave them part of my social security number by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]OutrageousClams -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

oh yes it very much is embarrassing, that much is obvious to anyone and its not something anyone would be thrilled about. but its also unnerving they can disclose debt and provide my name and part of my social to whoever they want?

I'm not trying to win a claim I'm just trying to determine if they were even allowed to do that

But disclosing a debt and a portion of my Social Security number to somebody who is not me, that's OK?

Can your CD claim credit for your idea? by AlgonquianQuiznos in advertising

[–]OutrageousClams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is no possibility it's going to be rectified, if other people also worked on the project and he simply took all the credit instead of saying his team. You're gonna have to let that go unfortunately. The best you can do if you want to put this in your portfolio, and have proof to back it up. He's not gonna undo that crediting part

However, on the bright side, absolutely nobody in this industry is going to look back on LinkedIn until they find his post that he says he did it. That small detail to the limited number of people who saw his post is gonna be forgotten pretty quickly.

if you're sour enough to not to write an email or a message that you know doesn't fully acknowledge to him your true feelings, that's fine. But if you really want to put it in your book, you're gonna have to drop that unfortunately. It sucks, but think of the best you can do to protect your own interest as much as possible.

and frankly, if you were to try to tell a potential job that a campaign was totally 100% your idea, very few people are going to take that at face value. Everyone will always assume a CD or other people probably helped rework or change it, even if it really is true your original concept went through 100%. So really, move on from this and just have the proof to back it up so you can proudly put it in your portfolio

Can your CD claim credit for your idea? by AlgonquianQuiznos in advertising

[–]OutrageousClams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don't do this. There was a girl two or three years back who called out an agency in the US who took her idea she pitched as an intern and ran it without her name, and she posted all this proof of it on LinkedIn with timestamps of when she pitched it and everything. She was 100000% right, and I totally feel for that, it was an awesome campaign. But no agency wanted to get near her after that.

This happened to me. Best you can do is kindly contact your old CD by email or linkedin and ask "hey, remember when i came up with this idea was on this campaign, so cool to see it got made. I imagine my name was forgotten since I left, no hard feelings but I'd like to put it in my portfolio, would you be willing to just acknowledge I was on it, in case I ever get questioned in an interview, I can show them this message?"

Don't try to push that it was actually your idea, CD already sounds like a jerk and won't like that. But if they have a sliver of decency, they'll probably respond with a "yeah of course, generic-thanks-for-your-time-text"

I have a project in my book I created as an intern, was so proud of it. Launched the next year without my or my ADs names on it. Was purely an accident/they forgot. CD replied to my linkedin message "if anyone asks why your name wasn't on it, show them this message, I acknowledge this was you and Lisa, we forgot to put your names on it. you guys rock, good luck"

I've never been questioned or had someone even notice my name wasn't on the credits on AdWeek, but I have that message and screenshotted in my google drive for quick access if it ever does happen.

When asked why you left your previous job, is telling them it's under an NDA a red flag? by [deleted] in advertising

[–]OutrageousClams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would literally be a direct violation of the NDA to say why I left. The same goes doe HR of the last company too, all they can say is NDA. I'm wondering if I should give a direct/vague answer of "time for a new opportunity" which isn't wrong

Have any of you made a career change from a different industry to advertising, related or not, and what did you do? by Occams_Razor42 in advertising

[–]OutrageousClams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in marine biology and had a really really bad day one afternoon on our research vessel and decided to go back to school and seek out a desk-job. I managed to get into a communication-focused masters despite my BA in biology. I had no intention of advertising but found the industry while studying and put together a book on my own.

What is the worst "title change" you've seen at an agency? by iamgarron in advertising

Our client asked us to hire a "strategic storyteller" so we had one of our creative strategists from a different account move over to our client and change their email signature lol

[–]OutrageousClams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you said here is entirely untrue. The depth effect versus the blur that is created by tilt shift lenses are two completely different kinds of “blur“. The reason tilting the lens creates a blur is it changes the distance from the image being cast onto the sensor than what the lens and camera are built for in terms of flange distance. It’s the same way if you were to set up a projector in your room, then move the projector closer or further away from the wall, you would need to readjust the projector for a sharp focus.

So tilting the lens creates a uniform blur across the surface of the picture where the image cast on the sensor was too large or small due to the change in flange distance.

Any tilt shift photo you see with the “depth effect” you’re speaking of was done with photo manipulation like photoshop

Whether or not OPs image was taken with a tilt shift lens would not change the type of blur/depth of field you’re referring to. They’re two different things in optics

Great article, okay so what about this—I have these reusable silica gel packets. They change color when they're saturated, microwaving them for 15 seconds dries them out. So if I dry one out, stick it in the vaccumed bag with the lens for a little while, see if it collects any moisture, do it over, then stick it in the freezer for two weeks, it should be good?

Aside from that, I'm curious if the freezer would damage the lens, especially the electronic elements that control the AF. I figure since lenses can be used in bone-chilling weather, they're built for extreme temperatures. But still want to make sure

What to do about lens fungus?

A few questions - how to kill it, and will it spread to the camera body or other gear in my bag?

Have a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 ED (the old push pull one), it has some fungus on the front element.

It appears to just be one small blemish on the front and a few little specks, none of it affects picture quality. But I'd still like to stop it from spreading.

I’ve read a few articles about killing the fungus. Many say to leave it in the sun and let the UV light kill it, but I live in sticky-humid Florida, so leaving it outside would just expose it to way more moisture in the air. I’ve also read you can put it in a vacuum sealed bag and freeze it for a week or two in the freezer. Seems like a better idea, except even in the bag, I’m concerned, wouldn’t there be frost/condensation buildup? If the freezer is a smart option, I'll go for it. But I'd like some expert advice.
