There are never any excuses for stealing from anyone. That is a long story short. There should never be excuses to give to photographers when they are caught violating our copyrights. Watermark, no watermarks, online, or sent to you. If you do not have the proper license, if you have not paid for it, then you do not have any rights to use it.
So last week I posted about my Goodreads account and how I am trying to do better with it and actually did in 2022. Well if that didn’t give it away I am a fairly big book nerd. I love reading and have since I was a child, in fact, it is the one consistent thing about me that even my extended family is aware of and still makes off-handed comments if they see me with a book in hand — “You always had a book you was reading when you was a kid, I see nothing has changed.”
There are numerous photographers and photography blogs in the world that will say over and over that you have to niche and specialize that you can not be a jack of all trades. Are they right? That answer is a little harder because what is right for one creative is not necessarily going to be right for another.
Earlier in the month I did a critique on an image that caught my eye on instagram for how awkward and painful it was to view. In that critique I mentioned the model having what I as a photographer term “dead eyes” which is simple put an expression so flat the eyes appear lifeless and unenthused to the viewer.
There has to be first for everything and I am lucky enough to have a sister who is willing to be the first for all the things I want to try with a camera in hand. My first newborn shoot was her baby girl, my first engagement was hers, so so many of my first were with her before my lens and I deeply appreciate her willingness to be my model.
