Ladies and gentlemen, my empire is crumbling. Someone has stolen my photos and refuses to give me credit (just my name and a link to this site is all I ask...) for them. This person will remain nameless, the site unnamed. The lawyer's been called, and the rest is in the hands of the law.

I think I've just come out of it with the firm belief that talented people know the process and struggle with creating something that is their own vision and recognize the effort and are willing to give credit where credit is due.

Only the truly pathetic and talentless feel the need to strip off the names of the original artists and try to pass off work as their own. They don't understand that our work is like our children, that there's time and effort that we put into learning our craft and making things work.

Perhaps someday this person will do something that they can feel proud of only to have someone thoughtlessly snatch it away. But I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
