Hey Kanye, Those Photos Look Really Familiar

November 11, 2008


Kanye West's website is the obvious internet stop for images of uncomfortable looking chairs, PG-13 J.O. material and cars that even he can't afford, but now it's apparently home of uncredited, unlinked photos that were taken directly from thefader.com. INTERNET PARTY FOUL!!!!!! Last Wednesday (aka the first day of the rest of our lives), we posted images shot on election night in Fort Greene, Times Square and Harlem by our own photo coordinator, John Francis Peters and other members of The FADER staff. On Friday, those exact same photos appeared on West's blog with nary a mention of John Francis Peters, thefader.com or any indication of where they came from. We're used to seeing our photos uncredited all over the internet, but dude, really?
