Beauty in death
Sometimes you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home to find beauty to shoot. The other day when pruning my potted plants I took an old leaf from my Alocasia Amazonica and put in a vase with a black backdrop, there is beauty in death too.

Shades of grey
Yesterday I had a black and white kind of day, everything came out in shades of grey...

Credits
Returning for a moment to the "Infringement" post. This is how it should be done properly, keeping the logo in the image and posting credits. And this is done by a young mother less than half the age of the dingbat whom actually late last night sent a Messenger message asking for more pictures to be taken and even requested I should come this morning and do it.

Infringement
That's it, from now on I will NOT do people any favors taking pictures free of charge. Not even for in-laws or family.
The other day an in-law, kind of as his cousin's married to my cousin, asked me to snap a couple of shots of him to use for his business endeavours. Photos taken and edited to make them the best possible, then delivered as high resolution images so they can be used for printing and of course as he got them for free with my company logo on them.
Now I discovered that he had posted one of them on social media with no credits and even had cropped the image so that the logo was gone. Honestly, this is copyright infringement. Just because it's him in the picture it doesn't mean he owns the image, I own the copyright. I'm seriously considering reporting him to the social media platform, question is if he will get the message or will he just upload the photo again?
NO more favors for people, if they want photos shot they will have to pay for it!

Sign of the times
It's a sign of the times that Redbubble, Pixels and others have added to their product lines face masks that you can order with printing. Some of my images have also been made available on masks and more are to come. "World in hand" mask ready for purchase at Redbubble.
