The Story of a Photo
Back in 2007, when I was designing the custom version of this Georgia science textbook I found an arresting image on Flickr. This was before the photographer was represented by Getty, so the photo research team cut a deal with him directly.
With a little photoshop work, the cover was done. Logging into Flickr today, I see that one of the students in Georgia, who has a copy of the textbook found the original image online and commented.
I thought it was pretty cool, because a lot of times you just send things out into the ether and never hear back about them.
