Here is a really good example of how this happened to me recently in InStyle Magazine with Drew Barrymore. I shot a skate park editorial for Eliza Magazine in 2009, called "Concrete Garden". It was actually my very first editorial I ever shot - I was terrified. So terrified that I forgot my camera's battery on the charger the morning of, and had to rush home to get it....hahaha, oh, the memories!
Anyway, take a look, side-by-side of my work (on the left) and the aforementioned editorial - form your own opinions about it, but don't be angry, be flattered.

So, it might be a total coincidence, but either way, it just means that I had a great idea, and I did it first. Maybe not in as large a forum as InStyle, but one day I will. And for the record, the Drew editorial is adorable, and I love Andreas Sjödin's work.
