Wow! One of my pictures of Mike Hefferman is on there that I took at the Meadowbrook show!!!
I wonder who sent that in to Mr. Francis???
Good thing I got my pictures copywritten.. they seem to be getting around the net these days.

Mary I do not wish to instigate yet another controversy over something you are saying but I would have thought that you would have been honoured that Wayne chose a picture of yours out of all the pictures of Michael Heffernan that are floating around, and that he is free to see and save from the internet without as you put it so quaintly anybody having to send it to him, that admittedly he then cropped to suit his purpose of entertaining us all.In fact he must have seen it when you displayed it in your topic at:-

and I for one am pleased to see this evidence that Mr Francis keeps an eye on postings on this forum
What troubles me more is that you seem to feel that you "got your pictures copywritten". OK that is your prerogerative but forgive me if I am wrong but I can see no indication in your various postings that any of your fine pictures were so covered.I assumed as did zoneranger obviously that you had presented them here and thereby put them in the public domain as have other fans for us all to enjoy.
I will soon send you a PM telling you of a simple and free programme I have used to actually imprint copyright .. year... your name on any picture
Maybe then people would repect the integrity of your art and not crop any pix or cover them with lettering etc
Johnny Cakes and ale!! [/QUOTE]Johnny Cakes, i think you misunderstood what i was saying. I e-mailed Mr. Francis to see who sent it in. He said he'd take it down but I told him it was an honor to see it there on his site. He was very nice about it.
I'm not trying to start any controversy with you or anyone else.
Mr. Francis said he gets so many pictures submitted to his site that he didn't know who sent it in.
I cropped the picture of Mike that way myself because Gord's face was overexposed, thus ruining the whole band pic. I cropped out another picture of Barry Keane to to save what i could of that photo.
My sister's boyfriend is an attorney up in Michigan and he is handling the copyright forms and processing them for me free of charge!! He said they were good and I should protect my work.
I have some Photo software and am working on the copyright watermarks and symbols on it too.
But thanks for posting those links. You've always been so helpful and I appreciate it.
