So, I got a request for images for a blog. Sometimes I respond, sometimes I don't...depending on the blog. If it looks like an aesthetic fit, them seem legit, and they ask for PERMISSION to use my images, and they PROMISE to add a link back to my site, I say yes.
Am I crazy? Or crazy good?
So the latest, blog, My Modern Metropolis did a short story, but included a lot of pics. Thanks, Alice - that was wonderful.
But then... off to cyberspace! Blogs picked up the story and reblogged it all over the world.
Off it goes. Liked on Facebook, Tweeted. Somehow, Flavorpill picked the My Modern Metropolis story verbatim. On to Tumblr. From there to many other blogs including pretty propaganda and hundreds of others. Most just posted a photo of one of my pieces. Some of them included my name, some got my gender wrong [should it matter?], some got my name totally wrong! Most left my name off... and images are just floating around...
What's your opinion? Should it bother me? I'd love your opinion...

The blogosphere is a weird thing. Yes. I don't know how you'll feel about the fact that I made my way here via Jezebel. But I did. I love your work.
Cheers.
It's excellent that your work is traveling around being seen by so many! Maybe next time put your name small, in the corner, of each photo. That way, when they get separated, your name will still be with your art. :)
