That's a pretty cool Lego statue, btw.
I just want to be anonymous in that blog but now it was all revealed that I own that blog. hahaha!

He still can't post it.
Thinking that Mr. Nathan Sawaya is the maker of this, he'd be allowed to because he hasn't only credited, but has been given permission to.
It's true, it's great art, seriously terrific, but what's the point in making a 'photography' section at all if all you're going to do is take pictures of other people's work? And to then give it a new name and everything. The least he could do, out of respect, is give it the name given by the maker and the maker's name beside it. And then in the description maybe post something about 'using this for my blog' or whatever. Not take credit for the fact that he took a picture of someone else's work. Whoopediedoo, so what now if I take a picture of déjeuner sur l'herbe and post it on deviantart I can be credited for my amazing photography skills? You can find millions of pictures of this on google if you're interested.
THAT is why people are busting a nut on this dude.
Here's a very similar photo from a blog post: [link]
I don't know how to confirm whether or not these photos are the same (pixels? editing? What), but there are other photos in his gallery that are similar/same as the ones on the same blog post.

Thanks for replying
But now I think he owns that blog. In one photo in his gallery, "Wanderer" ([link]) was sumbitted in October 2012. In the blog, the same photo (same title) was posted on December 2012.
Here, the blog photo was posted 6 days ago.
Don't know if that's disallowed regardless.

Considering all the other photos are gallery shots, I'd have to disagree with you.

Everyone needs to check the category before jumping to conclusions, this is his PHOTOGRAPHY he never took credit for the actual piece presented in the photo.
post your own work from now on please, it devalues your profile when you post things you didn't do, even if you give credit in the description.
If I take a photo of a park bench does that mean I can't post it because I didn't make the bench?
HONEST users do not post any work that is not theirs to post. any watchers he gained from this were not deserved. this is a place to show what you can imagine and how you see the world, not what you see that someone else has worked hard on. HONEST artists frown upon what's been done here. you can have the most beautiful painting in the world and it could be yours, but if you take another's work and put it next to it the wonderful painting is devalued to very little.
think on my words, and help your friend learn from his mistakes.
It was probably unknowingly done. Nevertheless I think the poster should take it down because obviously it is offending a lot of people. You wouldn't like it if I took one of your creations, posted it on my account and said in the description 'by Skelly-Bone'. It'd be ok in a journal or something like that, not used for a submission.
And it's not that he's stealing, it's something else. Think of it this way.
Say an AMAZING but not well known artist made an incredible painting. Then, someone else took a picture and posted it on their profile. Granted, they gave credit, but I believe that, if you're a photographer, it doesn't really count if all you're doing is taking pictures of the art of others, regardless on it you credit or not.
