Click on photo. Then click edit photo. Or go to your photo gallery and click photo then click edit photo. There is even the option to upload a replacement photo and still retain the same photo ID. There are lots of photographers on supertopo and we are all pretty touchy about piracy.
Just because I am not commercial does not exempt me from being respected as photographer

Aww Dean.. Don't let them scare you off!!
Too bad about Barry. Guess having your leg chopped off will make you grumpy. Why can't everyone just play nice?? Such hypocrisy. They went after one of the main trail builders up here BITD too before they realized it was good for business.

I think this is f*#king stupid.
I'm finally calmed down enough to post about this. When I saw Bruce's comment about how Dean
had "raped and pillaged his photo library" I thought it was joke. When I realized it was
serious, and that it in fact had driven away someone we all want to see here, I wrote - and
then deleted - a couple of angry posts.
Nothing good would have come of actually posting them, and I'm glad I didn't.
But the bottom line is that if Bruce had put up a photo that any one of us had taken, we might have
politely asked if he'd mind changing the credit. But I don't think there's a single person posting
on this thread who would have accused him of piracy or of being an as#@&%e, or anything else.
Serious over-reaction.

Yes, I put forth a motion (ya Anders, I'll get it yet) to have Dean back. Such a fantastic guy, such a history of first ascents, and no end of hillarious stories. Can we conjure up some votes here to retrieve Mr Hart? Please?

No offence but forget about Hand Jive, we've got a man overboard and we need to get him back.
Like I heard my 8 yr old say last week......Jesus Crisis.

Awww, booooo. We want Dean back! Thanks for posting Dean. We would have all loved to hear your stories. Total respect for all the work you guys did up there on the North Walls. Some bad ass routes. Peace.
Bmacd, sure credit is due but please be more nice about it!
This is indeed a Jesus Crisis.

You guys should lighten up on poor Bruce Mac. He's a good guy. He simply said, in colorful ST terms, that you should give credit where it's due. Maybe he made a mistake by being a bit too colorful. Dean's a big boy, he can take it. Seriously he's a really big boy - have you seen him - he's gigantic! But Dean made a mistake by pulling all the photos instead of changing the credit. Then Ghost (Dave H., is that you?) chimed in, making the mistake that Bruce's words were meant to be taken literally. Knowing Bruce I don't think he actually meant that that Dean had physically raped his library and that his entire gallery was in danger of becoming pregnant. I live in the states where, if a lawyer were to get a hold of this, I'm afraid they would take the photo credit issue quite seriously and insist on physically raping you.

Agreed that there is no comparison between Dean and Hand Jive. I try not to tell adults how to behave but I am sure there's room here for both Dean and Bruce.
Funny, one of those photos posted by Dean was taken by me. I was considering posting it myself and when I saw it I got the strangest feeling my brain had stripped a gear. Definitely no offense taken, quite the reverse.

Boo ya! The man speaks! Now stop being a dick everyone & let's talk about climbing again. How's that tick list coming along Hamish??? Just 5 pitches? Btw thanks Bruce & Jim B for your suggestions, some good ideas there for sure, I'll let you know how it goes. Cool article Peter, very well written. Made my palms sweat for sure. I can't comprehend how slab climbing with your knees was advantageous but I haven't done too much onsight FA slab soloing in the rain so what do I know??! (answer:nothing)

Yeah, it's me Peter. But I do think Bruce meant his words seriously, and in any event Dean took them that way.
I used to make about a quarter of my living with a camera, and I am 100% in sympathy with the belief that people who rip off other people's photos should be pummeled with cudgels. But I don't think Dean was ripping anything off. He was just showing a cool picture to some old friends. If it were your photo or mine, would we have reacted in anger? I don't think so.
Anyway, no big deal. I just wish Dean would come back. Even if he is taller than me.
