A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Beauty.

Beauty is a manifestation of secret natural laws, which otherwise would have been hidden from us forever.

I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing. 

 

All women do have a different sense of sexuality, or sense of fun, or sense of like what's sexy or cool or tough.  

 

The Story of Bill Stettner

THE PASSING OF THE REVISIONS TO THE COPYRIGHT ACT IN THE USA, HAD DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR BILL STETTNER AND HIS CO-CAMPAIGNERS.

                                     Portrait of Bill Stettner in his shop 'The Garage Sale', New York 

BILL STETTNER was a very successful New York advertising photographer, with an amazing inventive mind, and many iconic images under his belt. He was also believed a great injustice was being perpetrated on photographers around the world.

Through the late eighties, Bill and a number of other American photographers fought a battle over the right of a photographer to own the copyright in their own images - the first such action, in what is now accepted as a photographer’s right just about everywhere around the world.

The passing of the revisions to the copyright act had disastrous consequences for Stettner and his co-campaigners.

Many of the committee found it difficult to get meaningful work after the revisions to the copyright act became law (unless they waived their rights) - but Bill, as the main protagonist, was black-balled by the New York advertising industry, and never worked again as a photographer.

He eventually lost everything to his creditors.
