Well that's pretty fun, I like that they got NASA without really knowing it was NASA or that even playing a part.

That is rather fantastic. You can now say your work has been in a big film, in a roundabout sort of way. ;)

3 cheers for the f'ing internet, mate. And yes, a nice "little film" :) And for a change, the picture looked exactly like what it was supposed to look like, without it being something that was easily searchable. If that makes any sense.

What an amazing story! The untimely breakdown of your MacBook could almost act as the climax of your own short film. Did they ever tell you how they came about your photo? You'd think they'd at least send you a ticket to see the movie in theatres ;)

leafy says:

... dude, you gave it away for free when they made millions on the film? ... oy ... i don't feel bad charging $50.00 for one little print ... you could have at least accepted a token amount even if it was CC licensed ...

Awesome story - just shows that it's not the creative wonders that make the big buck sometimes! Inspiring.. I could do with $1500 right now to pay for the PS3 I just bought!

The Jaundiced Eye says:

You know, CC and all is great, but if they're gonna make money, so am I! I've earned almost $1000 off my photos on Flickr this year, selling them to Newspapers and magazines who contacted me out of the blue. I also know of pictures of my cat being used as wallpaper on myspace accounts, which I am very cool with as well. I would be so jazzed to see one of my photos featured so prominently in a movie! Congrats.

Wow... you're famous now buddy.. Take more of these out-of-the-way shots and you'll be in the credits of other movies as "Director of Photography", hehe.

Very cool! So glad the blog is displayed prominently on the home page, otherwise i would have missed this :)
I would have tried to cash in on it too though, especially when they offered. Every little bit helps :)
btw. I hope you don't get sued for using THEIR image on your stream..hehe

Thanks everyone for the kind comments; glad you liked the story.

To everyone telling me what I should do with my own pictures; I don't tell you what to do with your stuff—please extend the same courtesy to me. Thanks.

fetching says:

i just read your blog about this. I have to say, what a shame. This is everything I hate about Creative Commons and the mentality that surrounds it. I'm not trying to be confrontational, or am I criticizing you, but to think you were offered money by a major corporation and you turned it down....for what? Your photo is being used to make them more money and not you, or your family or even a charity of your choice is benefiting from it. How many bags of groceries for the poor could you have bought? Or warm coats. Or anything...it doesn't matter. Your image had value and Creative Commons in all its glory helped convince you that giving it away is for some greater good.

@fetching I will give away any image from my flickr stream if it would made it in such a movie as Iron Man. For free. Well done, Jeremy!
