Catch Me If You Can

No Rubles for me. Not even a kopek.

At least not for this photograph of mine that is being used on a Russian website.

Over the years, I have licensed pictures from my image archive to companies in more than 20 countries. That’s almost as many as I have visited in person.

I’ve been paid in euros, francs, pounds, yen, and won. I even got a “cheque” from Ogilvy & Mather in Toronto in a denomination called dollars.

The reason I’m not getting a fee from this Russian outfit isn’t about my altruism. It’s about a concept that was also a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Catch Me If You Can.
