Is it "paranoid" of me to think a logo in the far corner of my photography is not enough "safety" for it or showing/claiming it as my own work? Or have I just been through enough of that art theft and "I found it on *intsert name of website here"-bullsh*t the last decade? What I'm trying to figure out is if I should be using my logo AND watermark on my photos from now on. The logo would be more visible on the image (in one of the corners) and the watermark would be hidden away somewhere in the center of the image. I will try and put a bit of effort into hiding it so no worries two signature of my name would ruin future submissions... Any thoughts about my whole idea? Or am I really just being fed up with people taking and using my work as they please, just because they found it online... And, please don't start "If you don't want people to share your art, don't submit it to the internet", because I'm not going to have it because the whole copyright-thing and a proper way to share a photo should be known by now! The internet has been around long enough.
Yes, oh boy... I should really be more active around here, submit more, talk a bit more to people and not be the "loner" I am, haha. I know I have said that more than once last year and one of my new years resolutions was to be more active. Unsurprisingly, it didn't happen And I don't even know why I'm not that active around here, since photography once was such a big passion of mine. Not that I don't have enough content to share, oh my, I have enough photos from 2018 and 2019 that I didn't share with you guys yet. Most of the time I tend to forget dA still exists (same goes for my instagram account that's dedicated to my photography), and then when I remember "Oh wait, dA's waiting for a submission" it just goes "Ugh... Don't wanna!" ... Do you know that feeling? Probably I guess... I don't have any plans for the weekend yet, so I'll try to answer all comments, notes and so on then. Now I need to grab some food and continue working on the thesis... Yes, still going strong with that one. (It somewhat feels like a never ending story with that thesis and me working on it.)
