You may have noticed that something is missing today. If you haven’t noticed, that would be the Facebook Page for Photo Stealers.
::moment of silence::
On Monday I received two notifications that two posts were removed from the page due to violating community standards.
Oddly, the “New Listing” linking to SJK Photography in Delray Beach‘s post wasn’t removed despite what the notification said. When I got the notification shortly after the first about the share of the Peta Pixel article link being removed, I was temporarily banned from Facebook.
I used my time effectively, creating a timeline, complete with screen captures, to add to the SJK Photography post. That is at the bottom of the page.
Yesterday I was out of the office most of the day and didn’t touch the PS page at all except to let people know I was back.
Today I woke up to find that Facebook had decided to unpublished the Photo Stealers Facebook Page because of bullying.
I moderate but so be it, it’s gone (for now). I did hit the “appeal” button but that’s literally all it is, a button. I created a new Facebook Page in the meantime. It will either be our forever home or just a temporary shelter but either way – I will continue on. This is merely a bump in the road. Thanks to all for the support!!!
I’m back from PPA and slept off the conventionitis. It was a great show and I highly recommend it to all photographers… when the hotel doesn’t have a norovirus outbreak. Seriously though, it’s a great group of people that are serious about the industry and care a lot about it. Make it a must-do if you’re in the US!
This photographer mostly uses stock images which I won’t be listing since I’m unsure which came with the WIX website. However there are quite a few that are not stock and those are below.
There are numerous craigslist ads, I won’t be sourcing them all as the images that aren’t stock are sourced w/ the website and Facebook posts. I cut it off at 9 but there’s a lot more listings out there.
This wall of shame is dedicated to photographers that feel that it's okay to steal others' work and post it as their own. Oh I'm sorry, it's okay to let their "web designer" do it.
