Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Kyle Cassidy Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 5:41 PM To: 'lug@leica-users.org' Subject: [Leica] My photos getting stolen like crazy So running some web-logs I noticed that this tiny photo of myself dressed as kurt cobain (from a series called "self portrait of the artist as...") was getting massive amounts of hits; crazy amounts of hits. So I checked the logs and saw that if you search for "kurt cobain" on www.google.fr, http://images.google.de or http://sucheaol.aol.de, and select "images", hey, you get my self portrait. So all these freakin french and german kids who don't read english are swiping my image and shoving it into their collections of kurt cobain pix. Normally I'd be very annoyed, but I'm kind of flattered to think that I look enough like kurt to fool fans ...... Here's two of about 30: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/temp/2004/stolen1.jpg http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/temp/2004/stolen2.jpg Here's the big version of me: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/pix/studio/kurt.jpg And I swear that I don't have a gun....
