And so on. Maybe you only ever upload the scaled-down versions of your photos, so that's all that exists on the internet, and let folks go nuts with that stuff. Maybe occasionally hand-pick an "image of the month" or something and upload it as a LARGE sample, so folks can set your <strong>watermarked </strong>(or <strong>signed</strong>) photo as their desktop wallpaper, thereby associating your name with photography they like. And DEFINITELY make sure you get a photo chosen & posted on Cute Overload, natch. ;) re: “How would I ever make a living as a photographer if I did?” — well, I’ve got a few ideas there… include links to a store page for all your photos, so folks can purchase high-quality prints (framed and unframed) and merchandise (mugs, mousepads, shirts, etc) emblazoned with the image.

Because you're right, I do not allow folks to download my photos. (How would I ever make a living as a photographer if I did?) I do not mind, however, if people want to link/point to them, provided they give me proper attribution. Thanks, --Cynthia Theo, whatever you’ve done here works for me.

(Lots of pro Flickr streams are like that, though.) Cynthia — I can kinda cheat by taking a screenshot, but your Flickr isn’t set up to allow folks to download photos.

It looks like the link to my seahorse photo on Flickr is broken. The photo is still there --on Flickr, that is-- so maybe someone can fix it...? (Not sure, as I've never been to this site before until I realized I was getting heavy traffic from someplace called "cute overload" on/around Father's Day...) Cynner_SF here.
