I am not writing to those of you who just read papablues at times, to keep up with the calendar of bles events, view photos or whatever. Nor am I addressing those of you who use my images on your records, CD's, printed publications etc, and let me know beforehand and give me due credit for the photos!
Nor am I writing this to blow my own horn and to brag about what an excellent photographer. I am an OK photographer, and I I shoot a lot of blues and I also use good gear (paid for by myself, mind you), to get good shots.
And for those of who DO ask for permission to use my shots, that is more or less always given, and in addition, I'm glad to provide hi-res RAW or TIFF images. No, this is for those of you who do not follow these simple rules. Who just grab an image of my site and use it on your own site, in a written document or whatever. In some cases, when I ointed it out, it has mostly been a mistake. But I can't catch everyone.
Come on, guys and gals, be nice! I want a photo credit if you my shots! And you will get hi-res images, for free and even on a CD, in return. For those of you who cannot follow or understand this: Get lost!!
