Every now and then I check my web logs to find out where my visitors are arriving from. The other day I followed the breadcrumbs back to a Japanese blog called MensModelsTalk. To my astonishment they had copied all my images from the Rogers Benham menswear shoot and reposted them!
I asked my wonderful Japanese housemate Mariko to translate the annotation:
"I love the situation of the photo and I feel like I will go into a dream world. Sitting on the sofa with the Union Jack cushion, Rob Moore looks like a true English gentleman. I want to just go into the photo, sit next to him!! I bet I am not the only one who feels that way lol"
Awww!
Rob Moore is the handsome chap pictured above, and represented by Select Model. He has a whole section on MensModelTalk devoted just to him.
Needless to say, I am rather flattered - if somewhat surprised - to find my photos living another life on a faraway website... Of course I post them here knowing full well they can be easily copied and repurposed. As computer security guru Bruce Schneier once famously wrote:
"Digital files cannot be made uncopyable, any more than water can be made not wet."
