Re: [Digital BW] Re: Photography That Doesn't Suck

Harry , your perspective is well noted.. makes sense.. I am a full time professional photographer.. I do indeed have some images out on face book.. and I am fully aware of the rules.. but I feel I know what I'm doing.. The imagery I put out their to me are images I choose to share and I'm totally ok with it.. On the other hand I have, for want of a better term, what I call money shots... These don't go on line.. They are my intellectual property and I'll keep it that way.. 
I've seen images from many shooters on this group and I do mean many.. that are so high rez their a PIA to open and view.. Way to much information.. All can be down loaded.. So to me a really poor choice if your an advocate of security.. Security begins with us.. we are the ones that can really make or break it.. If we intend to depend on Facebook, PBase, Flickr or any of them to do it all for us ..well I think we are quite naieve..

  I'm an 80 yo ex college pofessor and amateur photographer. I'm not a pro so if someone can make a few $$ off my photos, so be it, altho I seriously doubt that they can. If you are a pro, fine but if you'e not, you are taking youself and your (dare I call it art) far too seriously.
