Hi Peter
You as an artist should know to not steal others work. You and ZKM
had the opportunity to contact the individual photographers after no
response from Don or Landis. Your inquiries would have been welcomed
but you instead chose the infringement route and now you find
yourselves in a pickle. I like your project but it is tainted by your
actions. Did you think no one was paying attention?
