A week or so I got an email from the Beautiful Señoritas updating me that the album which I provided the cover image for had been released along with the great new it was being well received. Here is what they said:

“The record is in the market. Bellow some links of interest (the record in the label web, metions in national and international podcasts, spotify, youtube, etc). The front is being quite and event for the Spanish public. It is being tremendosuly striking and all those who give us their evaluation begin with the great originality of the photo. When it is with others fronts, all the sights go to Gary. In January we should start to make the shows where we sell even more than now. We will keep you informed about all the news.”

I am so happy for Jose, Ale, and Blas. They have been so professional to work with, I dig their music, and I respect how dedicated they are to their music so much. With any success you must follow your passion and work hard to achieve your goals then your dreams will have a solid chance of coming true.

I make it a habit to Google search my name from time to time to see what is out there, especially everytime I see a traffic spike to my web site. Here are a couple interesting recent finds which occureed in 2020.

The first images were used in a paper titled “White/Black: A tale of two epidemics Historical Trauma and Addiction in the Black Community” by JOSEPH PHIPPS, BA & IAN MCLOONE, LPCC, LADC (ST. PAUL, MN SEPTEMBER 11, 2020) who are students at The University of Minnesota.

The paper is professional although I do not agree with every opinion the authors have. I will say they have good taste in images and I loved the pairing of my images with photographs by Mary Ellen Mark and Eugene Richards. Also props to them for a photo credit linking back to my website. Normally I would expect someone using my photographs to reach out to me before doing so, especially since I have a tab for “Licensing” on my header, but given the nature of their project I think I understand why they didn’t take the time to do that.

The second image used was this one above in a blog post titled Valentine Bloods. After reading the blog I have no idea how the image really ties in to the post other that a Valentine was the photographer and the subjects were a couple of Denver Lane Bloods. To be completely truthful I couldn’t figure out anything in that blog post. Jihan Pink was good enough to again give me an image credit and for that I am thankful. Absolutely no idea how Jennifer Esposito figured in to that blog post either, but at least I could see some tie in with Melissa del la Cruz’s “Bloody Valentine” book covers. Sadly this blog post will be the only time I will ever be linked to Jennifer Esposito.

I get licensing requests somewhat often, lately mostly for use in documentary film projects. If there is ever any a question as to whether you can use an image, please refer to the licensing page on my site and reach out to me. I retain the copyright on all my photographs, and I always consider the integrity of the image compared to how it will be used when reviewing a licensing request.
