Featured again :)

Woo-hoo! One of my photos (from the recent "Chasing Waterfalls" album) was chosen as a featured photo for Picasa Web Albums again. Thats great! Will I beat Ping's incredible fan counter now? :-)

Whats even greater is that thru the "Explore" function with the featured photos I found that David Ward has a Picasa Web Album too! Its the first time that I see a really famous landscape photographer with a Picasa Web Album - I wish there were more... (I mentioned one of the books that he took part in previously here). Why I admire David Ward? Just look at his photos... and then look at the cameras he made the photos with! "Iceland by Phone" is so impressive, and all the photos were made with the camera of a mobile phone... *sigh*

The sad part is - again it happened that someone not only downloads my photos (I'd have no problem with that as long as its for personal use) but showed them in his own webalbum! With his own name in the photo! I don't link to the album here, I added a note in the first photo of the album.

I just don't know what is wrong with these people... its so disappointing. After the first incident I removed the download possibility to make it a little harder for people to "accidentally" do that, and I fear that I'll now add a big (c) tag with my name in every photo. Its a pity because it really ruins the photos IMHO, but it seems there is no other way...
