So one of my colleagues from work cracked into his new edition of Live Sound International, only to realize that on page 28, in the article "Mixing The House With IEM," the photo of the VCA section on an ML5000 is OUR ML5000. At FOH. In our room. If you look at the attached pictures, you can see in the pictures that I took a few months ago with my iPhone that the VCAs are named the same. Does anybody know Mike Sessler or know how to get in touch with the folks at LSI? They didn't credit where it came from. They may have found the picture legitimately somehow, but we are trying to get to the bottom of how this happened. Any thoughts?

Here are links to higher-res versions of the images:

Maybe he was at your place when he took the photo. The photo is more to do with the IEM rather than the desk. It could be any ML5000 out there. What is the big deal about it ?

I agree, they didn't do anything wrong. As long as they had rights to the picture and you didn't snap it, they don't have to credit anything. If photographers had to credit their subjects in every picture, photography would be a much more involved field.

Nice photoshop job putting the IEMs in there!

You can contact Mike through his blog here:

Or, you can pm me and i can give you his personal email.

My guess is that some engineer that passed through your house is friends with Mike and took the picture.

I feel like they should have been able to just grab a real board and IEM and snap a picture rather than putting together a terrible photoshop.

No one has to credit where a picture was taken, only who took it.   If you didn't take it you have no claim on it.  If I remember correctly, the only exceptions are at ticketed events/attractions or where an invitation is required. 

Edit: I'm in the USA

It's not an issue of us being mad or upset that it's there... more just wondering where they got the image. It's more funny than anything. And the crappy Photoshop job on the ears makes it even better. I'm just struggling to figure out where the image came from, because it's not in a music venue but a church... just funny. And because of the labeling on the desk, we know that it's a fairly recent image too, within the last couple of months.

Just email him and let us know what he says.

Hi Wes,
I wrote the article, but the guys at LSI added the picture. And yes, it's a pretty crappy Photoshop job. Had I known they wanted a picture when they pulled the original article to post here, I would have taken one myself. I assumed the photo was stock; honestly I don't know where they got it.

I know that doesn't help you figure it out, but you could try to get in touch with Kyle Snyder at LSI. He might have some insight into where the photo came from.

Best!
mike
