Stealing Photos? Now This is Bulls**t.

Stealing digital photos has long been a pasttime for some web junkies, and we as photographers have always dealt with it. Sign of the times. But this week’s theft of Jason Lee’s Polaroid portrait of actor Dennis Hopper is straight-up bull shittake.

The art collective ThisLosAngeles last week reported that, after a gallery opening called These Friends, they agreed to let a patron use the restroom just before closing. Turns out that this particular patron visited the toilet, but also paid a visit to the incredibly valuable (and beautiful) one-of-a-kind-polaroid-portrait of Dennis Hopper (shot by artist/actor Jason Lee) in the back of the gallery…and he swiped it. Pulled the art off the wall and walked out.

G’head and blame the gallery, blame the collective, blame the attendant who let the guy take a leak, blame whomever. The point is that I’m blaming the perpetrator and you should too. Stealing is bad, stealing one of a kind art is worse, and that the thief is amongst us…

Now–after several days and a $25,000 reward–Lee’s Polaroid is still missing. The gallery is facing the prospect of going out of business, the cops have little resources to sink resources into finding the culprit and recovering the loss. Wouldn’t it be nice if we in the photo, art, design, pop culture community could track this photo (and this criminal) down?

Citizens arrest. Call Jeremy Weiss at 323-747-5301 or this@thislosangeles.com if you have any tips.

    Furthermore, you can try to go looking online seeing as there
    are so many on the net clothing retailers that
    are floods the internet. If at least 1 skill point is in corpse explosion and fire golem for a Necromancer,
    it will raise those skills as well. This means if you visit your allotment every week, and there is enough rainfall over the week to fill the butt, you will always have enough rain water to ensure all of
    your plants and crops are hydrated enough to grow happily and healthily.

    Pendeja hambrienta por vergas grandes y muy golosa por lamer cuando están durísimas. Maddy O’Reilly es una belleza sedienta de semen. Ella desea alguna vez ser penetrada analmente con una verga de grandes dimensiones asi que bien hecho por ella en la elección de mamar y mamar hasta dejarla bien dura, quizás nuestro amigo morocho la agracie con tal menester aunque ella pareciera que quiere sentir fluir semen dentro de su boca.

    Primer casting porno realizado con la hermosísima Black Angelica, una morocha terrible con un lomazo espectacular de películas xxx y que gusta de culear tanto como nosotros disfrutamos de estas putas hermosas. A no preocuparse ella tiene bastante idea de lo xxx que va a ocurrir dejando fluir su destreza anteriormente adquirida con distintos novios. Su gran habilidad por mamar pollas deja muy tieso a nuestro tester que difícilmente vaya a repetir un casting x con una hembra de tremendas características y que la pueda follar duramente como le ocurrió aquí.
