It was brought to my attention today, that I may be causing upset to the artists and photographers, whose photographic work I have used in previous posts.
It bothers me immensely to think that my quiet little blog could be a source of angst - my own, or someone elses. In all honesty, sometimes I forget that anyone even reads this blog - I forget that I am no longer scribbling rants into a hidden journal - complete with pasted pictures ripped from the pages of magazines. On the occasions that I have included images in my posts, it has not been to claim them as my own, but instead in an effort to express a thought, and an appreciation for the subjects of those photographs, and in turn for the photographs themselves.
Still, I accept that I should not be perpetuating the bad habits that Internet conveniences tend to foster. To the artists whose work I have used, without credit - I apologise. I am unable to back-track to locate all the sources of all the photos I have used previously, however, in the future, I will endeavour to give credit where it is due.
This is still rather a new world to me. In the use of others works my intention has never been malicious; so in reference to my mistakes, I must plead ignorance. It is an awkward introduction into the real world of 'electronic publishing'.
