Hey, everyone. I'm just updating. Random, and whatnot.

Last day of school was yesterday, I have no finals (Senior exemption-A/B grades for two semesters in a class and you don't have to take the final), and I graduate on friday. Horse show on the 18th went well, Eagle was a gem and took very very good care of me.

Picture-wise, I'm hoping to go out and play with Eagle tonight. It's cooler, so hopefully he'll be kicking up his heels and hopefully the sun'll stay shining. Knock on wood.

However, I'm debating-I hear more and more about artwork being stolen. I know that animal photos-horses in particular-are prone to being 'taken' and rendered into photomanipulations, regardless of whether or not it's stock.

I've actually looked at a few people who watch me, or who have 'd certain photos, and seen that they do photomanipulations and don't provide any credit of any kind... which makes me worried.

I'm not that strict on my pictures-I mean, if someone wants to ask me, if someone wants to use a photo in a manipulation, by all means, ask me and I'll tell you 'yes' 99% of the time, regardless of where said photo is going-so long as you give me credit.

But the fact that it could be happening without my knowledge, permission, and credit, is alarming.

I'm tempted to go through and put watermarks on the pictures that could be rendered-but I know, too, how annoying they are. They, in my opinion, detract from the beauty of a photograph.

Anyone have an opinion on this? I'd like to get some feed-back, anyway..
