I am a street photographer in New York City. Several months ago, I was approached by a representative of DKNY who asked to purchase 300 of my photos to hang in their store windows “around the world.” They offered me $15,000. A friend in the industry told me that $50 per photo was not nearly enough to receive from a company with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. So I asked for more money. They said “no.”
Today, a fan sent me a photo from a DKNY store in Bangkok. The window is full of my photos. These photos were used without my knowledge, and without compensation.
I don’t want any money. But please REBLOG this post if you think that DKNY should donate $100,000 on my behalf to the YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. That donation would sure help a lot of deserving kids go to summer camp. I’ll let you guys know if it happens.I love Humans of New York—someone suggested it to me when I was hunting photos to draw for this warmup project, and it’s a delight every day now. Big companies using images without permission is bogus as hell, and those of us who make images for a living should be extra vigilant about how they’re used, by whom, and why. And we should especially get our asses paid!

Buttons
Created by Beau McCall, an artist, fashion designer/stylist, this imaginative art cushion was inspired by the button collection of his mother and aunts.
Painstakingly put together with the addition of pearls and plastic amongst other things, they showcase McCall’s ability to instantly bring a story to life.
Complexity and simplicity at once.
