I found out this evening that back in March a reporter for a local paper stole one of my photos on here and used it for an article he had written. He did credit my first name, Wendy and the blog but did not get permission for it's use.
I was slightly upset but what upset me is that he lied to his editor and said he got permission from the Goliad chamber for the use of the photo. How and why could the Goliad chamber give permission for the use of a private photo that they do not own the rights too??
Anyways the paper was made aware of the error and I told them to put my last name on the photo credits and leave the photo posted.
I chalk it up to lesson learned and have now made some changes to my blog so hopefully that will not happen again.
I honestly don't mind sharing my photos if it is for private use, such as a wallpaper on a computer or laptop but to use it to gain money is not right!!
Sorry for the changes people but I ask that you do NOT save my photos or print them out unless you ask permission from me and only me!!
And if there is a photo you like and you do ask permission and the money is right I might even send you the original in print quality size!!
Best regards, Wendy!!
