Your photgraphy is stunning and I can understand the frustration in wanting to share, intellectual property and anonymity concerns.

SO glad you came up with your own solution.

It does matter, in my view, because now I am getting to know you as a more complete person.  Being online it will always be partial, but sharing creativity and strengths is hugely healing in many ways.  It healps to be able to access both strrengths and vulnerability.

That photo is really worth the share ...I am a girl who like insects as much, maybe sometimes more than flowers...in your pic we get both and the relationship.

Thanks and cheers

hello @Molly22 

@Jacques  does photographer like me

@Appleblossom  I am glad you feel you are knowing me better.  Growing up all I ever wanted was to be heard and understood.  And being autistic but not knowing it, I couldn't figure out how it was that people didn't understand me when I thought I was doing everything the way it was supposed to be done.

Photography has given me such a wonderful outlet.  I get to share the way that I see the world with others in a way that words just couldn't do.

I have had some of my work stolen from some pretty reputable companies, including the ABC broadcasting station who pinched an image from Google, I guess, and used it on iView to promote a wildlife series they had.  When I questioned them, they purchased the image, after the fact.  But it's sad when large corp's stick it to us little guys.  

 I love this pic.  I actually have it framed on my wall at home.  I'm a huge birder.  They are so challenging cause they don't just sit and pose for you.  It takes real work to get a good a shot.  I love that challenge.

Be careful.... once you get hooked on birding, it's crazy addictive.  😉
