Mia McPherson has a great rundown on what you can do as a photographer to protect your images.
Hat-tip to Dawn Simmons Fine.
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
Thanks so much for sharing Mia’s story. I can’t believe the rampant, blatant theft going on. I know so many really talented photographers and can’t believe how easily their images can be stolen & used without permission. It looks like it is a full time job just keeping track of who is using their copyrighted material. What a waste of time & energy!
