Cover Photo
My first publication was the cover of New England Printer and Publisher. The photo is of Concord's Main Streets Market & Cafe in Concord, MA. (The cafe later took my photo, without my knowledge, and used it in their website banner image and their marketing materials for 2 years before I found out. Before approaching them with a Take Down Notice, I first attempted to gently negotiate by asking to hang photos in their cafe in lieu of payment. Their reply: "Well, the photo is of MY building, so I can use the photo if I want.". They removed the photo from the website within one hour of receiving a formal DMCA Copyright Violation notice from me.)
The magazine editor requested a vertical crop of this original image. Here is my preferred rendering of the image.
The photo was taken around 1am on a Saturday night. The Concord Police stopped me twice to question my activities. I even made it into the Concord Journal Police Logs:
"Sunday, Oct. 16 2005 At 1:23 a.m., officer on patrol reported a male subject on foot in the Milldam. Officer spoke with the individual, who was taking photos for a college course."
Here is a link to the photo set taken that night:
