I was away for work at some conference in Chicago earlier this week. While sitting there watching a powerpoint presentation, the faded background behind the text in a few slides had the silhouette of an airplane. I immediately recognized it, and during the next break, I went to the business center in the hotel and printed up a copy of this photo.
[airlinerstp://www.airliners.net/open.file/0728166/L/[/airlinersI went back to the conference, asked if I could put the presentation back a few slides, and held it up. There was no mistaking that the silhouetted plane in the background was my shot.
What are the odds of that?
It turns out that they used the background from a company that provides such templates for powerpoint.
I don't know the company, but I do plan on sending them an invoice if I find who they are.
I should be getting a copy of the presentation to show you folks the comparison. I'm surprised I was able to recognize it.
I can't believe I'm sitting there at some work function and came across a stolen photo of mine.
