If you make art involving the nude — as a photographer, model, painter, sculptor, performance artist, filmmaker, or any other way that you can think of making art… I want to interview you.

Sunset over Gold Beach, D-Day+21,963

The sun sets over the wreckage of Mulberry-B, more than 60 years after D-Day.

The Mulberry harbors were artificial ports created by the Allies, in the days following D-Day, on Gold Beach (at Arromanches-les-Bains) and Omaha Beach (at St. Lawrence-sur-Mer).

I recently came across a handful of my photos on a couple of porn sites.

I’ve had photos stolen before… sometimes with attribution, mostly without. But this, was different. They’d managed to mangle the image by deleting my watermark and then slapped their own URLs all over the image.

Look, I’m not going to ape the MPAA and claim, hyperbolically, that reposting a copyrighted photo, without permission… Continue reading
