because he also did not give any credits to the photog.

I posted this here because it caused me to laugh on an otherwise shitty day.

of mine that was originally in the Sept. 1982 issue of Road & Track and won the Best Sports Stories contest was first copied by some artist who made a rendering of it and it was sold in poster shops in the '80s. My original contract with R&T gave them all rights, so I let them know that the copyright was being violated and then R&T said they only bought one-time rights and it was my problem (CBS owned R&T at the time so they had the dough to pursue the infringement) and they gave me my original slides back, which was fine with me of course, but I didn't have the money to pursue it myself. Now this poster is also another one of my shots, a reject shot that I sold to John Willhoit of Willhoit Graphics for 500 bucks, which was better than it sitting in a drawer all these years. John sold a lot of posters, and I guess sold the rights to his poster to Autotrend Graphics who advertise it as the award-winning shot. It's not, and I rejected it because of certain flaws and I was right as the shot I selected was

The shot I selected was published in R&T as you can see it from the tearsheet here (frankly I always preferred the Eddie Cheever Talbot one myself), and the reject poster shot would probably not have been published to win an award. Photographers work very hard for those little credit lines. The Avanti Ferrari poster had my credit on it originally, but I don't know if it still does.

boxes in the garage. I just gotta find the transparencies and scan them. That is one major job. I was lucky to be an '02 freak when '02s were current. Too bad I never sold a shot of an '02, but then Formula 1 was what got published.
