Vincent Brown’s Journal and Photography

Famous Fingers

Hah… a photo I took when I first got my 1st Gen iPhone made its way onto another technology blog recently. My gnarled hands are in beautiful contrast to my pristine, jailbroken iPhone, in this particular shot, LOL.

More than anything though, I’m proud and amazed that so many people choose to use my photos, and this one in particular, over and over again to accent their blog posts.

Here are some more examples:

(Consumerist.com: Very Strange Circuit City iPod Touch Bait And Switch)

(InOverYourHead.net: Apple flushing podcasting?)

(StuffEm.WordPress.com: Open The Door And Let ‘Em In)

Penchant For Sharing My Photos Online Backfires In A Humorous Way

Hey friends,

I just think that’s hilarious because even my close friends made fun of me for wearing that Bluetooth thing in my ear while skiing. In all fairness, that photo was taken last year and I have since changed my ways. However, I am happy to see that my photos are being used, everyday, to accompany editorial items online: Consumerist.com (a consumer empowerment website), Tech blogs and various other outlets.
