A friend sent this to me:
When the producers of the blockbuster movie “The Incredible Hulk” needed a picture of a destroyed home for a mock newspaper, they turned to Flickr. A newspaper featured during the film’s opening credits – purportedly showing destruction caused by the Hulk – features an actual image of a home damaged during a hurricane. According to The Daily Press of Newport News, Virginia, the photo is by hobbyist photographer Tony Alter, who posted it on his Flickr page. Alter’s] ‘Hulk’ picture isn’t the first to be used by professionals. In 2007, the Life Takes Visa Internet ad campaign paid Alter $150 for use of a Volkswagen Beetle picture…. Although Alter didn’t get any money for his “Hulk” picture, or a place in the credit roll, he is still excited to share his pictures with anyone who’s interested.” “The Incredible Hulk” has now grossed $115.5 million._via c-monster
