This is just a friendly reminder that scanning my photographs or copying from the web is not allowed, and is also illegal. I realize that some people may not realize that what they are doing is illegal, but for many, they know it is and do it anyway. From here on out, you will receive a copyright notice with your print order. EVERYONE will get a copyright notice...so please do not think that I don't trust you when you see one with your order.
Digital files are available for purchase if you would rather print your photos yourself. I would be happy to recommend a great lab! The bad scans and poor color prints that you may do at home or at a "Wal-Mart" type lab are not a fair representation of my work. Would you trust Wal-Mart to do your job??
I've worked with many clients in getting them what they want so that both parties are happy. Just ask!!
Again, I think that most of my clients are honest people. I just wanted to get my message across to everyone...those who are honest, and those who are not so!

Ah, yes....and so the fun begins! :-) I hope you are successful in enforcing this. The good news is that Walmart, Hy-Vee, Walgreens, etc. have refused to use my images (even ones scanned in and submitted online) due to possible copyright infringement. Hopefully you have the same luck!
