and, YES !!
you’ve seen that DEITCH photo circulating all over the web . . and, even in a few unauthorized MFA thesis papers btw, which wrongly claim authorship, and, yes at Yale !!
unbelievable, and, absolutely unacceptable /seriously.
it’s been a big money-maker for me, as I most definite go after – unauthorized use. and big time.
& I assure you I have the 35mm negative – to prove it’s mine.
so don’t you be lifting my pix, losers.
