Smiling Black Couple in McCain RNC intro were "Stock Footage"..Let's WHO they are & Who they Support |
|
I have no idea of how to find out who this couple is/ models are but would appreciate ideas on how to find out.
Let's contact them and see who they support.
If Obama, then feed it to the "NEWS" orgs for some coverage.

2. somebody already found the pictures on istockphoto.com |
|
search for that older thread, find the photos, and contact the photographer. That's your only bet.

3. I contacted both photogs and they're "very excited" about their photographs being used |
|
I was hoping they'd be like, "Those fuckers!" but nope, just excited.

I think a political use of those photos might have been a violation of the istockphoto license but if the photographers don't care there's probably nothing the models can do. They probably signed a much looser waiver. Oh well.
