Subjectivity aside. There is this thing called quality!
Come on. Get past quantity. Focus on quality.
Motion and Stillness along the Danube
Constant is motion. Constant is stillness. A river flowing, leaves fluttering, plants swaying in a summer breeze are motion, and yet they are wrapped in stillness. My intent of this series was/is to capture this seemingly contradiction of terms or ideas.

Playing with Shadows :: Black and White Photography
Sometimes in the late afternoon, I walk around my apartment, camera in hand, looking for the light that shines through the windows. And when I'm lucky, I get to play with shadows. I like, really like, playing with light and shadow.

Copy and Paste and a World of EXCUSES for Copyright Infringement of my Photographs
We live in a world of copy and paste where copy means
copyright infringement. I accept that
uploading an image or other data to the Internet carries a risk of being used
and abused by others. However, there are limits, right.
At the beginning of March, 2014, I read a blog post by Cole
Thompson titled: Watermarks Drive
Me Crazy! where he talks a little about
Google image search. You can upload an image or URL to Google image search to
track down images the same or similar to yours. In other words, you can find
those who have infringed on your copyright.
I randomly chose a photograph that I used on my blog, and to
my surprise, I found that this photograph was being used by several bloggers, a
magazine and a law firm in Italy specializing in wealth management. This was done by the simple copy and paste
method. I wrote them all. The bloggers all responded within hours, and they all
apologized and credited the work as mine. The law firm never responded, but
they did take the photograph off their website. The magazine responded (they
have credited my work), but they responded with: “… first of all I wanted to
apologize for the confusion, this work was done for a university project and
never published or sold.”
And this is what I want to point out.
If you have done a wrong e.g. copyright infringement, just
take responsibility for doing it. Don’t make up an excuse PERIOD.
This morning I found several of my photographs have been been
taken and used by some bloggers, without permission nor credit, and a
construction company website as well.
I wrote to the
bloggers asking them to please credit my work.
Here's an example for you:
Dear Rahul,
I found that you have used one of my photographs without my
permission. Although I do appreciate that my work has
inspired your work, I need you to credit me and my work with a link immediately.
Matthew G. Beall Photography Two Trees and a Bench 2012
Please send me an email letting me know you have done it.
This is the half ass I am not responsible for stealing your property arrogant reply I got:
Dear Mathew
“It was available on public portal. My blog is not on
photography either. If you are that particular i would rather replace that
photo with something else. Its surprising that you have noticed it 3 years
after i had posted. Anyway don't want to hurt your sentiments or invade your
privacy. The needful will be done immediately.
Of course, such arrogance demands such a response. And so here's what I wrote back:
“Let me give you some advice. Do not make an excuse for
something that was wrongly done. Simply except responsibility that it was a
mistake. Mistakes happen. Take it off your site immediately.”
The bottom line is this: IF you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, own up to it!
Oh, those of you that use the work of others. Learn these words: permission. attribution.
