BLOGGERS BEWARE: Lovefreund, Benjamin Jorgensen, and the photo credit scam

May 16, 2022 4 Comments

Back in late 2020, I came across a scam whereby a scammer trying to generate links to their site falsely claimed credit for a photo I used, and asked for the photo credit to be switched to one that pointed to their site. Turns out it was a scam that ran pretty deep on Wikimedia Commons. The story ended up getting picked up by a bunch of tech blogs. Well, it’s happened again. This time the scam originates from a sex toy affiliate site in Germany. I will name them, but won’t link them directly. After all, that’s what they want! It began when I received the below email. I’m posting it in full in case others try to Google the text of emails they’ve…

Some new photos for your enjoyment

For those so inclined, I added a second page of photos to my personal website. (Note from 2016: I’ve since removed this section from the site.)

I took this one at the Met in New York City. Obviously I can’t take credit for the beautiful piece of art. I ended up using the photo on a record cover. This one was taken … I don’t remember, actually. I think at a Little League game. This, too, I used on a record cover.

Photos Eric Took, aka Photography Post

September 25, 2009 1 Comment

Earlier in the year I shared some photos I took, ’cause that’s what blogs are for, right? If only because I’m kind of itchy to spend some time outdoors and take some more photos, especially now that the weather as cooled, I thought I’d share a few more. Click the images for much larger versions. This was taken in Treasure Island, Florida: This next one was taken at a Lakewood BlueClaws game. I’ve tried to give it obnoxious, arty names like “Man in field” and such, and then laughed at my stupid idea. And finally, “Waiting,” at Tampa International. So there you go. A few pictures. Seeing the excellent work of my extremely talented friend Keith Betterley makes me feel foolish posting these, but whatever….
