Hey there, I'm really sorry for not giving you enough credit on the photo. Really sorry here, will remove it immediately. I've seen other bloggers do that just link it to the original artist and I thought it was fine, I just started bloggin last end of April and i'm a layman to these things. Really sorry though :(

Thank you for the apology. Unfortunately, “bloggers” misuse photography and other intellectual property so frequently that I’ve almost grown accustomed to it. The truth is, it’s both rude and illegal.

Your post, though, took it to a whole other level. It was so tasteless and disrespectful that I was overwhelmed with shock, and couldn’t prevent myself from publishing an impulsive outburst in response.

I’m happy that you removed the original post. I would be even happier to see you create something original of your own to share with the world. It’s okay to be influenced by others — we all are — but it’s not okay to rip people off and justify it by saying “but I linked to your photo on Flickr.”
