Credit where due:
On the one hand, I could claim the banner as my own work (which of course it is, in the sense that a well trained monkey can cut-and-paste with the best of them, and so can I) but in providing due credit to the sculptor Hans van Bentem [*sigh*, like most artistes he insists on flash for his site; be warned] for his robot statue (that’s the 4th image right-to-left) it occurred to me that I should probably credit all the source photos.
It just took me a while to track all the breadcrumbs (or search blindly until I could rediscover sources) but if one were to glance to the sidebar immediately left, one might discover that it is awfully bottom-heavy at the moment with — while not up to legal or academic standards, still a better-than-average web attempt — actual citations
If you feel you are the owner of one of the said images (and in the case of the Soviet stuff, hell, I might take you to court just for kicks — I’m fully prepared to cite Marx & Lenin on the record in a court of law, in the face of your greedy grab for someone else’s work done under the guise of collective ownership for a country that technically doesn’t exist anymore, unless you’re the original artist which would be cool and in that case I’d take you to court just to meet you face to face and shake your hand) drop me an email at matt [at] rocketbomber [dot] com and after verification, I’ll remove your image (and the free link at left, and the free publicity, that you’re getting for free) and replace it something even cooler. Your loss, dude.
