Dear A.J. Daulerio of the PhillyMag,

I would have very much liked if you had asked first to use my photograph for your December 31, 2007 article entitled "Atlantic City Chooses More Aggressive, Possibly Cruel, Method of Keeping Gulls Away." However, I do appreciate that you did put my blog as the source.

The photograph was taken from my March 16, 2007 post. While I understand it might be the best photo ever taken of two stunning gentleman and a dead, headless seagull, it makes it seem like we beheaded the poor fella. For the record, we FOUND the gull dead and headless and we did not use aggressive and cruel methods to kill it since as I said it was dead when we found it. Plus, you missed the photograph where we buried him and said our goodbyes.

Also, the photograph as you have used it is inaccurate as that was a Virginia Seagull and not a New Jersey Seagull.

And A.J., my apologies for never having read Deadspin, Oddjack or Black Table until I googled you. Or that you are "best known as the superstud of the New York blogger scene."

Sincerely, agirlnamedtor

Photography Note:

I shoot with a sony cyber-shot and I am available for seaside weddings and boardwalk birthdays. Dead, headless seagulls based on seasonality.
