Then he got up and went upstairs, his mom told him he was handsome and smart. His father looked longingly at the shotgun above the mantel, knowing that since he his doctor recently told him the sugar diabetes was slowly taking the nerves in his toes that there were only a few years left. If he waited too long he'd never be able to balance the scattergun in his mouth and free himself from this hellish existence, he'd lack the manual dexterity in his lower extremities.

I think that's a reddit where you get knockoff bitcoins that are eventually convertible in normal money for your posts

I love everything about people hoarding bitcoins in the hopes of converting them to usable currency, only to then find out that exchanging them is incredibly difficult.

I bought my camera with money I earned from bitcoins and it wasn't difficult at all. Unless filling out a couple of forms on a website is what you consider difficult.

While I'm happy your investment in buttcoins paid off, there have been several articles about people who can't get real money from their bitcoins. Either the sites offering the service were scams, or the people offering to buy them would always make low bids.

That's definitely a possibility, of course. However, even after you actually become proficient at photography, you still get people who think it's all about the camera.
I don't take offense to that, they don't mean it in a bad way. It's just one of those things you hear.
I'm sure you already know all of this and just decided to be a oval office about it, but there you go.

A watermark is a sign of a true artist. Otherwise people would steal their art from them. So you protect your art, with a watermark.

Lightroom even has a checkbox for watermarks, so your first order of business when launching a fresh install is to crank that poo poo up.

I shoot for a website, so we have a watermark on the photos. Honestly, the point isn't to prevent theft (because lol) but instead to create awareness of it. At a festival, a couple of years ago, people recognized my work based on the logo of the site, not my name.

Having said that... Yes, every rear end in a top hat creates their vanity page and adds PHOTOGRAPHY to it. Worse yet, they add a fantasy name like "Non Serviam Fantastic Dreamscapes Photography"
