Dear Readers,
We’d like to apologize to you over the issue of one of our writers, Mason Resnick, using a photo belonging to Ken Rockwell in his recent article Five Reasons Why I am Never Going Back to Film Photography.
We at Adorama are die-hard supporters of ALL photographers and consider your photos to be your own works of art that should be protected from others using without permission.
Mason told us that he inadvertently placed an image from Ken Rockwell’s site in his article that he wrote for us, and never intended to publish with that photo.
We believed him because he’s been part of the Adorama family for many years.
However, we also learned that Ken’s photo may have been altered prior to placing into our article, and this is not acceptable to us. We have been in touch with Ken, who is a great partner of ours, explained all of this to him, and paid him for the unauthorized use of his image of the Leica M3.
We hope that you will understand that our blogging platform is a place for many writers to share their opinions and personal perspectives on photography. We welcome all perspectives and will continue to do so.
We also take full ownership of this issue and will ensure that this never happens again. We hope that we will rebuild your trust in us.
Sincerely, The Adorama Team
