Linda Golley’s Photography

This photographer caught my eye immediately when I saw the submission because one of the stolen photos is VERY similar to one I’ve taken.  Same place but it ended up being a different photographer.

It seems to be a new thing (well, newly getting CAUGHT anyway) that people are stealing images to enter them into contests.  This photographer does the same and has won or placed in quite a few contests with images that aren’t her original works.  Sigh.  At least it seems to be that these contests are just silly Facebook ones.

I like that she’s also selling these works that are not her own on Fine Art America.  I wonder how many she’s sold?

The about is my favorite.

There are tons and tons more but I think you get the gist.  I’m going to focus on the ones she is winning contests with and selling.

There’s more but I’m hungry and it’s lunch time so… I think you got the point.  There’s a lot more I didn’t post but trust when I say that 90% of Linda Golley’s work is not her own.

I’m back and she’s denying so I’m going to post more.
