Just my two cents on the gallery and pictures issue: As
Top41 mentioned, people are constantly saving pictures all over the internet onto their computers everyday. Celebrity pictures are no exception. Heck, I'd say they make up a
hell lot of those pictures people like to save. :lol: I must add that I can understand people feeling troubled by others saving their pictures / art, especially if they post the pictures on their website and no credit is given. Or worse, the person who nicked it takes the credit instead. However, if credit is given, it's instant promotion! (And you don't even have to pay a cent for it. Can't complain about that.
)
My guess is he's simply clearing up his gallery for new pictures. He
is renovating the place, after all, so I wouldn't worry about sections here and there going missing. All part of the process of website construction.
I have my own website where I display my art, and after a certain period of time, I like to clean it up and put out just the new stuff for visitors to view instead. Keeps the visitors coming back from time to time.
Moreover, it's good to show the most recent stuff ya got Shows ya like to keep your fans / visitors updated and that you actually care to maintain your image.
But, if he really
did take off those pictures because he didn't like people taking them ... uhm, well. Dude, pictures publicly displayed on the internet won't stay just where they are for long. :lol: He could go for a Flash-based gallery to stop people from saving his pictures, but I'm afraid even that won't stop determined people, if they know the tricks of the trade.
