Desert Storm



Comrades,
Some cool shots of Nevada/Arizona. It must have been 130 degrees in Red Rock Park!
Much love to my “Baby D” and “Devon J” for making this a great summer and our trip memorable. More pics on that coming soon as well.

I have one question that has been on my mind for quite awhile now and it is this. As a photographer, would you like it if somebody were using your work on their website for commercial purposes? If I were a betting man I would say that it would piss you off something fierce. Now, what if you were a musician and photographer websites were using your copyrighted music for commercial purposes? Does the same rule apply in the world of art? If so, I conclude by asking why some of our local “Photographers” use an artist’s song to accentuate their galleries while paying no regard to the copyright of said artist? There are those lacking in discretion and yet when their own stuff is stolen they are the first to wine about it. Maybe there are those who will simply never be able to progress themselves by virtue of their own talents instead opting to ride on the coattails of those who possess talent that their thieves only dream of.

Sunscreen for All My Friends,

Lance
