Photo Security

Technology is not slowing down for anyone, and with that comes great responsibilty for us as a society. We are now morally obligated to do more things, and expected to have an understanding about how the finer details of how the process works. If you're not catching my drift, maybe this will clarify things. When we gather information for a project, the sources documented are legally the intellectual property of somebody else. However, we may borrow this information...if the source is cited properly. It doesn't end there. There numerous accepted ways to cite this information, and it is frowned upon when not executed correctly.

After starting my own, extremely small, privately owned production company a mere month ago...I was looking for inexpensive ways to copyright my material. I found a company named 'Photobiz,' which specializes in helping photographers run their businesses. And cheap, too. This is why the internet is so amazing. Within a few minutes, I was able to find everything just with my fingertips and a few minutes of my time. It was easy to see the next step in the equation; build my website, set up a processing system. Start making a name, and not just any name. A good name.

Here's a mini version of how photo's are edited, documented, and saved.
