I noticed some unusual activity on my site, and sure enough, somebody copied my entire site (replaced the photos though) including my design, and coding. I was a web programmer at Intel for years so I designed and programmed my own website.
Here is my site:
Here is his ( http://www.kennethphotography.net/ ) site:
Some people have no shame. It is not a test as he is using this at Los Angeles craigslist. I sent him an email to remove it. Let’s see what happens.
The sad thing is that he seems like a guy starting out in photography business. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot. We as photographers really depend on our intellectual property and copyright in our business. Then you go and copy someone else’s site…
Oh well.
In this day and age when most wedding photographers “borrow” the style and images of others is this any wonder?

I’ve had to deal with that too Evrim, it kinda sucks. They say imitation is the highest form of flattery, but it really irks me when someone tries to pass off talent as their own.
Good catch, maybe you can sell it to him and make, um, well enoug for a coke (-;
I visit Evrim’s site often to see what’s new. I’ve become very familiar with Evrim’s work. I saw a flyer that had one of Evrim’s pictures (lady spinning in red and white dress). If I didn’t know his work, I would have overlooked it. I told you, Evrim, because I see your passion in your pictures and you are definitely one of a kind. I want to make sure you get the proper (and legal) credit for your work. One day, I want to be able to say, “This is an Evrim Icoz original.” (-: Hopefully, my wedding pics will be more than what I paid for them. It’s an investment. (-:
