New Layouts

Little Theives
I found the thing on my server that shows the 300 most recent referers to this domain and found at least 3 people stealing my stuff and saying they made it and then they complain about people stealing their "layouts" which are just a stolen photo or photoshop piece that is placed wrongly in a table thing..no fence, but COME ON!! those layouts could be better AND LEGAL!! But no, they complain and so about 15 people comment saying "Oh, those assholes who steal your layouts should be shot!"..whatever..I put this graphic up instead..I hope it scares them a little..I also put ones up for Michelle's stolen artwork with her address on it..
Photo Hungry
I wanna go around and take some photojournalism-ish photos..but I can't drive >op..when I finally get to, I'm gonna celebrate by driving around Columbus taking photos..but I'm prbably gonna be told that I won't be safe, but I don't want to take a parent or relative along cuz they're all like "You have to ask the person before you take the photograph"..oh, whatever!! Notice that Photojournalism pictures are strong a lot of times because they show true emotion? None of this "I don't like my picture taken" and the fake smile "cheese" thing..I wanna get pictures of people the way I see them and that's usually not smiling..unless they're kids..but most people go around with a neutral face or a concerned look when it's necessary..I saw this graphic..oh, wait, I'll just show you..*goes gets the magazine and scans it*..sorry about the resolution..I scanned from a magazine, so the moire pattern was there and then I compressed it A LOT just to get it under 30k..but you get the point:

It's from People Magazine..I know it sounds morbid, but I like photos that show reality..I don't wanna see a smiling child getting their flu shot, I wanna see a child wincing in pain in expectation of pain from a flu shot..cuz that's REAL!!
hmm..I know that pic has really crappy quality, but anyway, my dad ended up winning an HP psc 1110..it scans, copies, and prints!..it scans great! I might scan some of my stuff again so that the quality is better..the school's scanner only allowed 200 dpi..I like to scan at 600 dpi because I often blow things up..300 dpi is the approximate dpi to scan at for print and then the resolution can be decreased to 72 dpi for the web..
Ha that graphic you made was such a good idea & way funny! LMAO I can't wait to see their faces when they see it :-P Oh & thanks soo much for helping me out too with people stealing my stuff. I think they'll finally learn a lesson now.

Wow! The graphic that you made for the people who are stealing your graphics will definitely scare them. It's also such a good idea because now they KNOW that they shouldn't do things like that, and they will probably learn a lesson from it (at least if i was one of them, i most definitely would)! Also, I agree about the photos that show reality. They are better because they are showing what our world is really like.

The picture you made is nice, I like how you put "will have to tell their parents" lol. Why aren't you able to drive yet? You should say why in your blog or something. I think it's stupid how you have to ask permission for taking someone's picture because then once you ask, they will start to be fake and fix their hair, etc. so just take illegal pics lol. I think you're a great photography. I love photography and I want to do it. I like that picture of the flu shot. ANyway, *heart* take care and happy holidays!

I agree w/ everyone! That picture you made for the lil theives is such a good idea! ha.. I agree w/ you too I think that pictures of people while they don't know are better pictures than when they do and they give you a big smile!
