I am surprised my photo was used in an Australian ABC Radio National article about Anton Smirnov.
The picture is clearly mine because I remember how Anton don't like to be photographed so that side angle was on purpose. I made sure not to be seen so as not to distract him during the game.
I posted it at my chess photo blog at http://mychessphoto.blogspot.my/2015/09/round-5-board-1-im-vs-gm.html
I was looking for some aknowledgement like my blog or name mentioned but I just see "(supplied)" in the photo caption. Definitely did not "supply" them the photo although I would have gladly done so if they asked.
In the past, ChessBase and New In Chess (for Wang Hao in Malaysian Open 2004) all mentioned me as their source and I was happy with that.
I am not angry. I do not want them to change their article to give some aknowlegement. I just want to go on record to say the pictures used are mine :)
There ! I've said it.
P/S: for the record, the last picture used in the article is also mine.
