I stumbled upon this fundraiser application thing on Facebook the other day (and really? am I really writing about Facebook on my blog? I'll try not to make a habit of it...) only to discover that the host was using one of my photos to advertise. At first I was a little surprised. Then I got kinda territorial. It was one of my favorites from Sudan. Then I realized that I haven't ever actually posted any pictures from Sudan, except for a few weeks ago on this here blog, and it wasn't the same photo anyways. So I'm a little confused. How did this person get my photo? The only place it has ever existed is on my camera and on my computer. I can't decide if I'm upset that he would use one of my copyrighted photos without asking, or if I feel violated in some weird computer way. Or maybe I just don't know how this whole computer/internet thing works and maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of this than need be. Lend me your thoughts.

I'm living in the darkroom. I would say that I'll post some photos soon... but now I'm all paranoid. In other news, I know that Drew needs to get his own place, but having him live at my house temporarily was so fun and convenient. Selfishly, I'll be sad to help him move out next week. Also, I'm experiencing a renewed appreciation for my city of Columbus. Working in a gallery downtown has been really insightful not only to the industry, but also to the art community of Columbus. I'm not saying that I don't still dream of being in Denver again (more on this later- plans to come), but for now Columbus is a really good place for me to be.
