This posting is to advise readers that there are fraudulent prints of my work being promoted and sold on the internet. My wife and I no longer produce any prints of our work whatsoever. In fact, we donated our HP Z3200 12-colour printer some time ago.
If you see any websites claiming to be selling prints of my work, please be aware that I am not associated with any of these websites. What is being offered are fraudulent prints. These fraudulent prints show my Copyright, but are not authorized for sale by me. My work has be stolen by these websites. If you come across any of these fraudulent websites you can support my work by lodging a complaint to Google and other search engines.
Very sorry to hear this, Tom. I fear we live in a world where talking advantage of others is becoming more and more the norm…in my view the result of a climate created and supported by reprehensible political leadership.
Warm regards,
Bill
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your supportive comment… much appreciated!
Yes… sometimes general society… or parts of it… can move in ways that are negative and follow a win/lose world view.
That provides even more reason for us to maintain our positive values, and to do our best to provide inspiration to others during these trying times.
Tom
Sorry to hear about this. When it happens, it is a pain and often difficult to track. Makes you wonder about people; however, I believe you are right – maintain the positive outlook and move on.
Hi Allen,
We appreciate your support!
Tom
I am so sorry to hear that this has happened. You give your time and articles so freely and only request the price of a coffee in return.
Thank you for sharing your articles.
Hi Heather,
Thank you for your supportive comment… it is most appreciated! Over the years I’ve had this happen a number of times. I take reasonable precautions, but if someone is intent on stealing material they can find a way.
We can’t live our lives fearing the worst from everyone around us. It is good for us to remember that most people are honest and respectful.
Tom
Sorry to hear of this, Tom. Image theft is getting more and more difficult to avoid in these days of high quality upscaling and AI removal. I’ll be vigilant in keeping an eye out as I surf.
Thanks Terry… it is always good to have eyes watching. Be as careful as you can with your own work.
Tom
It couldn’t possibly be Trump could it, now claiming he’s the best photographer the World has ever known 😳 Amongst many of his other outstanding accomplishments 🤔
This has happened to me at other times in the past. All I can do is report the theft to websites and law enforcement with the hope that they can catch the guilty… or at least have the material taken off the internet.
One has to maintain a positive outlook and the belief that the vast majority of people are honest and ethical in their dealings.
Tom
