    Recently I have been asked what form I would like my photographers credit to take when used on my clients web pages. As an architectural photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area it is important to maintain the highest professional profile possible. There are several reasons for appropriate attribution to being given a photographer when their photographs are used this article will address these reasons and suggest a means of providing photographers with appropriate credit in a professional manner. photobooth

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thank you! f95zone games
