inphotos.org: River Island Skateboarder
River Island used one of my photos on a tshirt. Without telling me. I never got around to calling them out on it at the time and the tshirt has since disappeared from their clothing range but I want to post this anyway.
The first I knew that a tshirt had a photo of mine on it was when Dan, the skateboarder in the photo, contacted me and asked why a member of Irish band “The Script” was wearing a tshirt with his image on it. The band were interviewed on RTE and the interview ended up on Youtube where he saw it. I tried to get in touch with the band without any success.
Some time after, Dan got in touch again. He had spotted that River Island were selling the tshirt with my photo! At the time he was very upset and angry, and so was I. Unfortunately I was in Canada at the time and didn’t follow up with River Island when I got back.
It boggles the mind that such a large clothing chain would use an image without permission. It really does. It makes me wonder how often other multi-national companies do it.
(Thanks Alan for encouraging me to post about this!)

Porchfield: Phil & Rodney I
The Museu D’art Contemporani De Barcelona had a show by Rodney Graham. It confused me no end. But at the very end it had some of his abstract paintings which were absolutely beautiful. Both Phil and myself stood for a long time soaking up the shapes and colours. No photography allowed as you can see!
