You may have noticed a distinct lack of images in the
last few posts. This is the result of two experiences.
1.
My
home computer situation is rather dire at the moment. The relic I am using
groans to simply output a significantly usable wifi signal from the access
point adapter in its USB 1.0 ports. Old faithful does not
arrive for another three weeks or so which makes most processing tasks long and
tedious.
2.
I
recently read about the ethics of image appropriation and was mildly shocked at
the blatancy of theft and recirculation of personal, public and corporate
images without permission. I too am guilty, although I have yet to turn a
profit from my use of copyrighted images on this here blog.
What does this mean for this blog? Well, aside from
appearing a little sparse for the time being, from now all images used here
will be with permission of the image/copyright holders or else photography done
by yours truly. While this may slow things dow in does have a number of
professional advantages including: rectifying rampant theft by correctly
asserting ownership and building concrete relations with those artists and
designers responsible for the images. Oh, and it gives me another channel to
put my interpretive, painfully bad photography out there into the world.
