After a recent contretemps in a teacup where I had asked some-one to take down a manipulated work which had utilised one of my pieces without authorisation I decided to put up this blanket note .....

I may have given permission in the past for one work to be be used like stock but this does not imply permission over all of my works.

I dislike intensely this prevailing attitude of propiertership over anothers work when permission is only granted to a single piece.

As I do not see my work as Stock, henceforth I will not be granting leave for anyone to use it as such....so...

Do Not Ask... it is not stock and you have no rights to it.
Supply and pay for your own Models, Studio, Backdrops, Lights, Assistants, Camera's and Lenses.... and learn to take your own shots...

Got the point?
