It is time to say thank you to the uncredited photographers who provided all the images included in joomla (and mambo before that).

I've been thinking for a while that I really should say thank you to these photographers who never recieved any credit for their work.

On Sunday Jan 25 at 02:22:29 Rob Schley ended an era and removed the images from images/stories for Joomla 1.6 and Steve Burge listed these images in his Top ten things to explain to joomla learners.

These photographs have been used since some time in 2004 and due to an oversight at the time the photographers were never credited.

Now is the time to put that right and give them the credit they are due and to say thank you.

I wonder if they even realised that their work has been downloaded millions of times and included on countless websites.

As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesn't like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.
