“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can’t find anybody who can tell me what they want.”
— Mark Twain
I’m used to people ripping off my work, but what really ticks me off is the lack of ethics and backbone in some people, especially someone who you would consider a friend *. Someone using my photo on their blog is not a big deal, as it increases visibility and the watermark in my photos is just inevitable for this reason alone and I’m used to it. Yeah, we all know there are a million bakeries and hair dressers and photographers and I sure didn’t invent the wheel, but come on, you sure can do better than a copy-and-paste job? aren’t we supposed to be working in the creative industry? what happened to ideas? anyone?
