Without opening old wounds, the photos were of F-6’s…The owner of a certain other website went ape threatening to tar and feather me and sue Key. Out of curiosity, i checked the pics over on this website, and guess what?
No logo was on them, though to be fair, the name of the photographer was on the posts, which had i known that, i would of certainly credited the pics appropiatlly….
Hi banshee, would you like to direct us to that website where those pics are published?? please.. (I tried on google but repeatedly failed to locate..)
