Getting Fed Up | Portrait Photos | Photo Forum

I didn’t know which forum category to place this..hope you don’t mind and i hope some of you might find interest in this also.

Oksana, i did discuss this in a previous post and you gave me a coupole web sites to check out. THis is about how people are pirating photos off of places such as facebook and printing them. I have a bad feeling it’s been going on with me for several years. As you know, i have taken hundreds of photos of friends and aquaintences at different holiday events and biirthdays…..I talked to a lady over the weekend ans she admitted to me she has printed some! But she kept telling me that i need to post them very very tiny on facebook and state if anyone wants them to print, they’ll have to let me know.

But that’s not a great idea beacuse no one can appreciate a 2 x 2 inch image.  I checked out those two siite you suggested to me…but it’s about $5 a month. That can add up especially if no one is interested in buying anything for several months. Besides that, you can STILL download off at least one of those sites you mentioned (zenfolio?)

It aggravates me now because rarely does anyone every make any comments at all on my photos i spend all my time setting up my softbox and everything! Goiing home spending 8-10 hours..sometimes for two days. I might get 38 “likes” and would you believe i might get one, none, or a couple comments…nice photos..    That’s it. This goes on time after time all year round.

I have to do something but I don’t know what. Do you have any other suggestions? I’m about ready to just stop bringing my camera along!
