About a year and a half ago, I was shooting at a wedding reception with a 5D and I heard this "chi-chunk" sound and half my viewfinder went black. (I wrote about it, I think - kindof a shitty thing to happen) I pulled the lens off and the mirror fell out on the floor. I sent the body off to Canon and it came back about a week later, totally fixed and CLA'd (clean, lube, adjust) - no charge whatsoever - they even covered the shipping both ways. I thought Canon loved me, and I was a fanboy for life. Fast forward to a couple days ago, and I see a bunch of articles pop up about how the glue holding the mirror onto the 5D is defective and Canon

Alyssa and I just set up a page for our studio in Buffalo, and we are SHAMELESSLY asking for our friends to become "fans" of ours so we feel less like losers. It's here at: http://tinyurl.com/cacozo Add me as a friend while you're at it (Rich Mattingly)...facebook has definitely taken over as my favorite place to talk with other friends/artists... Thanks, Slim

https://blogs.phillynews.com/inquirer/sceneonroad/2009/01/found_again_the_poster_source.html It took a good long while, but someone finally found the photo that inspired/was stolen/whatever by Shepard Fairy for his "Hope" poster (https://a4.vox.com/6a00c2252765c28fdb00e398d71a8c0002-500pi)that you've now seen about 3-billion times. Hell, I have a sticker of it from moveonDOTorg. Interesting stuff - TinEye offers some "hope" (no pun intended) for finding your work if it's used without your knowledge, but for the most part, you're hosed. I think Fairy is more than covered by "fair use" or whatever, and I don't really have a problem with him
