The Maxim photo editor in London took a fancy to one of my photos… and I just now saw the, uh, delicate captioning that came out in the Feb 07 issue.

I guess I never expected to get published in a popular bird-watching magazine like this…. 😉

The original photo is probably my best nature shot of 2006.

    Did Maxim abide by the terms of your CC license, or does this belong in the Ripoffs group?

    Telstar: yes, they abided just fine, and even checked in with me first. (All of my photos are free to use with attribution, so it was pretty easy)

    Good Day: I agree. The crop is very helpful. I did not want to do it with the original because I like the context to know that it is a nature shot and not a zoo or something staged.

    Congratulations! Although I had seen the photo before, I never saw the sad and surprised face expression of the rodent.

    I hope they paid you for using it.

    I laughed when I read your mention of it being in a "bird watching" magazine, considering the content of the magazine… you’re pretty accurate!

    Jason, does Maxim provide monetary compensation for using photos such as Jurvetson’s?

    It didn’t come up because I offer my photos for free. For me, it’s much more interestng to see where they may end up. Other big surprises were: Science magazine, the cover of a board game, and on TV for the Charlie Rose show. (a set of examples)
