Roka replied
Thanks, Joe. You are so sweet! I’ve loved the photo since the moment I took it, but I had no idea… Thanks much!
Jan Timmons
It’s a superb shot, Roka. But did he say how someone found it? Now can you deduct all sorts of new gear, as a pro for the paper?
Roka replied
Ha… now you’re thinking, Jan. Some gooood ideas there. LOL. I haven’t written him back yet. I know he did an image search for Hoop Dreams and I believe that took him to the RB photo, which, of course, he couldn’t get a copy of – so from my blog stats, I think he then Googled Hoop Dreams with my name which took him to the blog. So he got the pic from there. He kept it very low res so that it would make a lousy copy for anyone and wants me to send him a bill. I’m extremely jazzed to say the least. Now….. yes…. a new camera! Ha!
