Out of the blue the other day I got a polite email from a gentleman who said he really liked my picture of the chairs from the Laugh Club and was wondering if he could use it. He’s a graphic designer and was creating a promotion for an AIGA event. (AIGA is an association for professional designers.)
First off I was very happy that he asked for permission first instead of just taking it. But I was more surprised by the interest since I didn’t think the pic (taken with my cell phone) was all that great. I told him he could use the image free and clear but with one catch — I wanted to see the final product when he was done.
Well, he followed through and sent it to me today. Pretty cool to see the transformation.
