Well, I got a voice mail from Ken himself just now. He sounded friendly but called for only one reason: To demand that I not use his photograph on my blog.

To which I say, are you kidding?

“I wouldn’t steal your work,” his voice mail message said. “And  you may not use my work without authorization.”

Relax, Ken.

First off, you can post all the Web-sized photos taken from my website that you want. I don’t consider it stealing.

Second, I’ve already taken your photo off my site.

Third, I guess I need to take back all those kind things I said about you. What an oddly ungenerous response to a flattering post.

Well, there you go.
