So I've woken up to tennisblr once again being justifiably angry about gifs and art and memes and text posts getting stolen but at the same time I have also seen a ton of very beautiful photos posted without photographer credit, often by the same people who keep saying how bad it is to steal gifs and how much effort is going into them. And I do know I'm guilty of the same hypocrisy... Especially when I add photos that I've saved ages ago to a post or find photos on another platform where they've been posted without credit and then end up putting them on my blog anyway. If a photo doesn't have a watermark (and I can absolutely understand people not wanting to put one on them) the credit will very often be lost at some point along the way. But at the very least if you're getting a photo form a place that credits the photographer, it would be great to add that credit on your post, too! Photography is an art as well and a lot of work goes into it.
#end of rant#i've been debating whether i should say anything about this because i'm certainly not blameless here#and i'm sure this post could still have been worded better#but as someone who likes taking photos as a hobby and has seen how more serious photographers hone their craft#i wanted to at least say something#tennisblr
