Here’s another neat photo I found on Flickr, taken by a concertgoer at Hyde Park for Blur’s last UK concert on July 3, 2009. It’s neat to see it in the upper left corner standing out so strong and bright!

My Photos at Blur Concert in Hyde Park
I got a couple of comments on my original greyhound photo from concert-goers who let me know how my photo had been blown up huge for Blur’s Hyde Park concert on July 3rd. I did a bit of Googling and found this person’s photo of the concert stage, where you can see my greyhound image looming large on both sides of the stage. How exciting!

My photos on Cabela’s t-shirts!
Yes, that’s me standing in Cabela’s store in Glendale, AZ, holding up two of the t-shirts my photos were used for– and I’m standing right in front of the taxidermy specimens I photographed! I was so excited to see the fruits of my labor that I bought two of these t-shirts for myself and one for my mom and one for my dad. Not bad that I earned $600 for selling four photos for use on graphic tees, either!
Here’s my photo of the African Lion:
And here’s General Sports Apparel‘s design using it: (more…)

My greyhound photo licensed by Blur
I’m happy to say I got a call from London last month from an ad agency called Stylo Rouge that wanted to license my greyhound photo that hit Explore a couple of years ago. It seems that a band called Blur is coming out of retirement and the agency found my photo to be a good stock "metaphor" for retirement (and a foil for coming out thereof).
This is not the first time I’ve published photos on Flickr and licensed them Creative Commons and been approached online by interested buyers. I’m not deluded enough to imagine that none of my work is being used improperly, but I can say that I’ve never seen nor heard of it. Yet I can say, happily, that I’ve been paid by honest people, and that I’ve also been apprised by other equally honest people who have thanked me for the creative license and told me how they were using my photos for noncommercial purposes. Either way, I’m flattered and I’m happy that my photos are meaningful to people.

Published in Eyes of Desire 2, A Deaf GLBT Reader
I edited this post for concision on March 12, 2012.
Raymond Luczak published a story of mine in his book Eyes Of Desire 2: A Deaf GLBT Reader, available at Amazon.com.. My story is called “My First Deaf Guy” and it’s about my first lover, who happened to be Deaf, and why we broke up. (It might not be why you think.) I created this blog post so people who read the book and look me up through my bio in the book have a space to leave comments on the story.
