Photo of the week, That's a picture of me in Vegas. My aunt actually snapped that off with my camera when we perambulated the busy desert streets of the city late one night.
I'm thinking about using this image as my new logo. I'm not sure how to incorporate it yet, but it seems to fit me and my photography.
In other news, I just found out that my pictures were published in the Onion a few weeks back. Normally, I would be enthralled by this, and I am, but I'm not credited as the photographer on these images. The people who supplied the pictures to the Onion agreed to give me credit whenever my images were published. I don't know if this was an oversight or what, but I'm not too happy about it.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I've been online for a couple people, uncredited, or worse, wrongly credited (someone else's name on my images). I'm not the kind of guy to seek legal recourse for such things, unless they are blatant and malicious. If someone is totally stealing my pictures and using them without any permission, that's a different story, but otherwise, I know people make mistakes. Heck, I know I do. All they need to do is correct them, and I'm cool.

Right as you face the problem it should be faced, it's a simple question of truth.
Every artwork should be simply attributed to its rightful creator. We have the right to know.
And I just found out that it was the Onion who didn't do their job on this one.
Thank you.
