A fellow photographer brought this article to my attention. Often I get asked why I put my logo across any images I show online. Most think it is just so that the images aren't "swiped" before they are purchased. While I do support my family with income from my images, my main reason for the "watermarking" of images with my logo is for protection - both yours and mine.
The article tells the story of a family whose image turned up in Prague on a grocery store advertisement - all because the image was posted online with no watermark. You can read the full story here. Luckily, the image was used in a benign way, not something seedy. But here at our studio, you can be sure that any images shared online will be watermarked, for your protection and mine!

Such an important educational tool, sadly enough.
