I present my work to Flickr, Photoforum, and quite a few other photo. sites - I send them off into the world; they are my children - I wish them well on their travels. I hope they interest and perhaps sometimes even delight or inspire. In 10 years of looking at internet photography I have not even seen one of my many pictures reproduced anywhere other than at the original exposition. Life is too short to cure all its ills - people will always steal no matter what one does to prevent it.
