The Iconic Brooklyn Tech Photo: Claiming Our Image

At Brooklynyc, we are passionate about capturing and sharing the unique beauty and spirit of our beloved borough. Over the years, our photographers have created a vast archive of images that tell Brooklyn's story, and we are incredibly proud of the work we've produced.

One particular photograph, an aerial view of the magnificent Brooklyn Technical High School (BTHS) building in Fort Greene, has become widely recognized and, unfortunately, widely used without permission or proper attribution. This image, originally captured by talented photographer Daniel A. Norman and first published on our photoblog at https://brooklynyc.aminus3.com/image/2007-02-27.html on February 27, 2007, is a cornerstone of our collection.

The Issue of Unauthorized Use

It has come to our attention that this specific photograph, sometimes with its original watermark removed, is being used across numerous websites and platforms without our authorization. This includes, to our surprise, even the homepage of the Brooklyn Technical High School's own website.

We understand that popular images can spread quickly online, but it's crucial to remember that photographs, like all creative works, are protected by copyright. Unauthorized use, especially when watermarks are removed, is a violation of these rights and undermines the work of photographers and content creators.

Our Commitment to Proper Attribution and Licensing

Brooklynyc LLC holds the copyright to this image, and we are committed to ensuring that Daniel A. Norman, the original artist, receives the credit he deserves. We believe in the importance of respecting intellectual property and fostering a fair environment for creators.

If you are currently using this image on your website or platform, we kindly request that you:

1. Cease use immediately if you do not have a valid license.

2. Contact us to discuss licensing options if you wish to continue using the image legally.

3. Ensure proper attribution to "Photo by Daniel A. Norman / Copyright Brooklynyc LLC" is clearly displayed alongside the image.

We are actively working to address instances of unauthorized use and appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter. Our goal is not to hinder the appreciation of Brooklyn's landmarks but to ensure that our creative work is respected and properly licensed.

Thank you for your understanding and support in protecting the rights of artists and creators.

Sincerely,

The Brooklynyc Team
