Feeling angry, a Dave Mustaine kind of angry.<\/p>\n
One of my major, major pet peeves is when people do not credit me for pictures that I have taken for free (and they have taken it for free, too.) If you take it for free, please credit me.<\/p>\n
I have to watermark my pictures, not because I’m afraid of it being stolen, but because people just keep forgetting to say where they got it from, so I take the trouble to put the watermark in so they don’t have to do it.<\/p>\n
Heck, even if you paid me for pictures, don’t go around saying somebody else took it. (Fortunately, that has not happened.)<\/p>\n
Somebody removed my watermark before and posted it. Then in real life he goes “Albert bro, I love your pictures maaan. I love the expressions you catch!<\/i>” I don’t hate him, but if my watermark is that bothersome, you could either:
\n1) remove the watermark and put it in the text that accompanies the picture
\n2) ask me for a watermark-less picture while telling me you’d credit me<\/p>\n
It costs me money to take your pictures. It costs me time and deprives me of sleep<\/b> to process them. It costs me hard disk space to keep them. (And I had to buy a new hard disk, total expenses over RM400.) If I didn’t take pictures of people I probably would not have to get a new hard disk.<\/p>\n
See, I care enough about you all that I don’t delete pictures of you! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
People are surprised when I point out that I took this or that picture. They say, “I thought you were someone who wouldn’t mind?<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Well, when I post pictures, people DO comment<\/b> saying “hey I took THAT picture with your camera!<\/i>” And I edit my post and apologize for forgetting to credit. I am not alone; people do care about getting properly credited!<\/p>\n
Major credits to how Asyraf<\/a> does it on his blog. On the sidebar it says “Photo credit to Stephanie Chong, for the profile photo<\/i>“.<\/p>\n On a side note, I took my own profile picture on Facebook<\/a>. Then I remembered that Jason<\/a> took my blue-haired profile picture on Friendster<\/a> so I logged in for the first time in years to add credits where credit was due.<\/p>\n Alda, if you’re reading this, it pisses me off each time I read an article about Estranged and it makes it sound like Lionel and you never had anything to do with the band. If it’s just a article about the current lineup I’m cool but if it’s one of those informational historic articles…<\/p>\n Speaking of history, I would raise my keris in anger if I was Hang Tuah\/Hang Jebat and found out that I was removed from history books! Same goes for Yap Ah Loy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Feeling angry, a Dave Mustaine kind of angry.
