Is your picture stolen? (case Hera Bell)

Hi all,

Please, check following links

Probably not the only one doing this (or something similar). Just got caught, which the chances are about the same as a needle in a haystack. This individual will likely change their name and build a new website and resume operations . . .

Hera Bell seems to have had a successful business built up. This has to do some serious damage to her reputation and her business.

I love this link:

There's been 3-4 caught doing this, insane.

The day will come when someone asks her to take pictures and not steal them. She'll turn up with a DSLR in automode and stoffen on flashgun shooting to the sky on a bright outdoor shoot. Clicks to take picture, "No SD Card inserted" *facepalm*

This is not the case which is surprising. Read some of the background. She is already an accomplished and award winning photog and has been for some time. Why someone with so much to risk would resort to this is surprising. This sis not the first time someone with an established and successful career has done this.

Like writers sometimes experience not being able to come up with a story, maybe she got a case of "photographers block."

Or maybe she's just gone 'round the bend.

There are wealthy people who are compulsive shoplifters. What moves them to sneak garments out of dressing rooms? Not poverty, obviously. Something else must be going on there.

I remember seeing a huge thread she posted up about studio shots with M43 cameras on the Micro Four Thirds User Forum.

Great site. I had no idea this was so rampant.
