Mpennsky, your photos are so cool. If Ihad money, I'd actually buy some of your "real" photos but since I don't, I just copy them to my computer and I put them on as my wall paper. Really great stuff. All of my computers have your photos as the wall paper. Just wanted you to know how much I love your work and see "you" everyday.

I like the ones on the bridge. I still the the ones in the Reading are too cold and they have the tonal quality of "Sin City" to me it's a little off putting.

To put these on PB you aren't using "flickr" or "photobucket"? Because of the possibility they could sell the images to be used in advertisements wherever. Of do you put a watermark on them? That's what I do.

Thanks Colin.

I've sold a dozen prints this month from flickr and I don't sell my B&W for advertisement, they are all signed and numbered prints. I don't watermark and I'm not afraid of theft. I use flickr mainly as a way to find out what people like and as a way of getting my work seen by a very large amount of people, I'm now averaging over a thousand "views" a day. I've been posting a lot on there until my new website is finished.

I completely understand that you don't sell the images for advertisement, but flickr might:

The TOS with flickr says that they have the right to sell what is posted on their site.

You really should protect your images in someway.

I've looked at their TOS... I can't quite pick out the part that says they can sell contributor's photos, but it may be buried in some legalese.

From what I've seen, however, mpennsky tends to only put low-res version of his work on flikr, which sort of gives him some protection. I looked at some of the photos uploaded by the photographer mentioned in the article posted by Colin, and those seem to be much higher res.
