David Williams published a rather upsetting post on his blog, outlining how Markzware.com (get your own link, Mark!) ripped off his work - what were they thinking…

Well, it got me thinking. I wanted to make sure I hadn’t (inadvertently) robbed someone of credit. So I went to my favourite stock library to check their License Agreement.

I’m not ashamed to admit using stock photos. They save me a lot of time, and sometimes my clients a lot of money. For my blog, stocks pics serve my purposes perfectly.

Before reading the License agreement I was getting ready to track down the exact source of each picture I had used, and give credit where due. Thankfully, I had been good after all, and credits to individual artists weren’t necessary.

However, I would like to thank Woodsy for the beautiful window shot in my post on inspiration; Adam Ciesielski for the stunning x-ray image I used here; and Rachel Gilmore for the stunning Irish scene in ‘Dont be Afraid of the Distance’.

And if you clicked every link in this post, you get extra kudos too.

So from now on, I’ll try to acknowledge even when I’m not legally forced to do so. It’s just.. being nice!

And the picture in this post? It’s a Kodak No.1 Diomatic shot with a Pentax K100D Super. By me!
