Subject: Photo credit

In case anyone watches "Inside the Actor's Studio" on Bravo, take a look at the end credits of the one with Angelina Jolie. At the end you'll see "Special Thanks to Kat Bonson".

That's me! ::giggling::

For those that don't know the story, back in January I was watching ITAS with Kiefer Sutherland and saw a photo of him playing hockey that looked very familiar. Turned out that it *was* my photo ... his assistant found it on the Internet (probably some fansite) and saved it to her computer then e-mailed it to ITAS for his episode. Because the photo no longer had my credit on it, the producers didn't know who to contact for permission.

Luckily I work in this crazy business and after only about three days, I was able to reach the producers and chatted with them about the photo's use. We came to a monetary agreement and also that I'd be given photo credit at the next new episode of the show. That was today's run of the Angelina Jolie interview.

I'm thrilled and amazed that it actually happened. If I can find someone who can do screen caps, I'll make a copy of that card and share it with you.

:-D

[> [> I'm still a little blown away that Kiefer (or his people) thought my photo was good enough to be shared in the first place. LOL -- KatRose, 15:35:06 06/07/05 Tue [1]

[> Why? From what I've seen, your photos are certainly professional quality. Own your talent, sista! -- MariMata, 13:07:14 06/09/05 Thu [1]

[> [> Thanks. It's not that I don't think I'm talented, it's just the shock that a celebrity saw my photo and liked it enough to say, "Let's use this" when I'm sure he has others taken by full-time pros that are as good. I'm thrilled, don't get me wrong, but I'm still flummoxed. LOL -- KatRose, 14:47:57 06/17/05 Fri [1]
