p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · I'm guilty of ripping off my own photo!


Long story short... a major book publisher saw one of my images on someone's web blog that was used without my knowledge or authorization. The blogger even left the watermark intact which allowed the publishing company to contact me. Totally unaware that this image was out there, the publisher gave me the link to the blog. I promptly stole back my own image from the blog site and negotiated a nice monetary deal for the image to be used as the book cover. The lesson to be learned in all this... uhmm... well, I really have no idea. Here's the cover though...

Lesson: It is ok to steal what is yours, as long as you can prove it??

The moral of this story is thank goodness for lazy (or dare I say scrupulous?) photo thieves! Congratulations, Paul.

Paul,
Congrats on the book cover. First one? The LL theme certainly fits for grade school books (opportunities for you) How many Pros have you shot in their LL years.

The naivety of the public in regards to blatantly stealing photos never ceases to amaze me. Definitely one of the many failings in both our education system and unfortunately parenting in general.
Glad to see you ended up on the positive side of the equation Paul.

So, what was the thief's reply when confronted?

Matt

No. "What goes around comes around" especially if you watermark it.
