despite feeling really in the dark earlier about seeing all my photos being ripped off randomly across the web, and coming very close to deleting my dA page...
i decided against it.
i'm not going to let a bunch of losers who don't know how to credit or think they can get away with being fake stop me from doing what i love. it's sad that artists, especially photographers, can't share their work with the world without slapping a huge watermark across the center of it. i think people forget that these are more than just pictures. they're pieces of the photographer... personal pieces... but this is the kind of world we live in, so i'm just going to take extra measures to protect my work from now on.
anyway, it's SPRING BREAK. lots of new photos coming soon i hope! : )
hope everyone is doing great.
love love love,
ashley.

It always sucks having your work ripped like that. I've had designs of mine ripped as well, and it's really irritating knowing that your work is being used and passed off as someone else's. It does suck about the watermark; perhaps you could have a very very faint one in the center of the image, as well as your large one?
Good luck, and I hope this whole thing clears up soon!
it really does, i'm sorry it's happened to you too. : / yes, i'm pretty much just substituting the dA watermark now (ew) but in the future i will just enlarge mine. thank you - i hope so too!
thanks, i hope so too!
