[edit] claims

this page is neither intended to be spam nor advertisement. I personally do not sell any images online. this job is done through picture stock agencies, as I am a photographer working for news papers, press and stock agencies only.

I am a well known photographer from Germany and the image in question (composing of a tree in the 4 seasons) is worldwide known from calendars, books, covers, cds, postcards. The photo was created about 10 yrs ago and this image will write history in photography in one way or the other. the tree in the image does not exist any longer as it was strucked by lightning and it was and is an 800 yrs old protected tree in Bavaria.

the famous photo can be see at: http://willy.matheisl.bei.t-online.de

• Willy Matheisl I suspect this page to be self advertising. I can't find any biographic data about "Willy Matheisl" and no source to confirm the "worldwide fame" of Willy Matheisl. -- Ericd 20:45, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

  • Seems like clear self-advertizing to me. The original edit came from an IP address located in Deggendorf, the same location as Willy Matheisl. Daniel Quinlan 08:43, Oct 21, 2003 (UTC)

  • Keep. This is a famous image indeed. If it's made by him, he should be included. -- JeLuF 09:03, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)
  • If he really took that photo, then keep. -Nydigoveth 18:10, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

  • A person who creates a famous photograph is a valid encyclopedia subject. Wiwaxia 01:39, 1 Nov 2003 (UTC)
