Baseball Toaster: The Juice Blog : The Picture

Thing is, I took this picture and I never get credit for it! Having a photo published in SI is a big freakin' deal. Of course, I'm not worried about the money, though I'd be curious what that would be worth. For me, I just think it's hilarious that a random pic I took heading into a Cubs game keeps popping up places.

Even funnier? I took the pic with my iPhone.

Wow, Will. This is fascinating. What's next on your grandstanding list? Perhaps you have an "inside scoop" on a reinstatement? Or is that too much of a "Gray" area?

Wait, they took it off your Picasa site and published it without bothering to at least credit the originator?

Any chance you'll be able to publish a response from SI? Was it the print publication?

I remember several instances on this site and elsewhere when you've insisted on doing things "the right way" when it comes to copyright. Seeing you succeed with that ethic is a big part of why I only use my own images, video, and music in my projects now.

The Sun-Times is now asking for folks to send in the story behind the photo:

BTW, I know this is obvious, but the picture is being stolen all over the place for its subject, not the artistry of the photog.

Nice composition.

BTW, you need more pictures of Jenn in your picasa folder.

Did you convince her to agree to a close physical examination, given that you're an expert on injuries?
