Hey guys, this has been a funny day. Kind of … I went to Shenzen to visit a friend of mine and we were walking through some shopping centres commenting on Photos, Billboards etc of people we know. Well, all of a sudden I saw my picture in a shop. I walked in and took a few photos, I was lucky they kinda let me do it since they recognised it was me on those photos.

In China they are pretty weird about taking pictures, since you could take them to copy their products, how paradox since China is a paradise for illegal copies

Anyway, I was asked to sign 5 shop books with my signature for all staff, how funny…. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found out that all these photos were used for Billboards, Website and Shop pictures although the contract was about a catalogue only! Arrgh… Oh well I guess I have to contact my agencie about that
