don't take my photos that i post on my blog. they are moments in my life i took the time and effort to capture. i like to share (when they turn out ok!) but please don't just take them. i promise to give you the same courtesy.
i would not post this request except that i came across a picture i had taken on a site i was not aware of. someone had copied and posted my picture as their picture. it leaves a horrible feeling in your stomach.

This is sort of a problem on sites like this. Too bad you can't lock pictures somehow. I guess you can set them as "friends only", but that still doesn't give you much control.

yeah, i have heard many people say "well its public property if you put it on the web, thats how i feel" and i really dont feel that at all...i mean, you cant take a coca cola logo, and you shouldnt be able to take photographs...my two cents, but im really protective of my photography, we all know that : )

i don't know, Jennie. your two mountains are bigger than my one... and yea, i know you are protective of your work!! i understand that.
when i write or capture something it's usually personal (what a 'tard i am!). as far as net being public domain etc. i agree that the net is considered "free range". BUT-- i don't believe that gives anyone the right to "free reign". self control and respect of others and their art/work/property is always hoped for.
