Stolen Collection

[stoneage]

   I was looking at some pictures of dinosaurs and found this.  It's a picture of my Painted Invicta collection that I took myself.  However, it's being attributed to a Fred Snyder.  How could this be?  http://www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/invicta2.html

Have you asked the owner of the website about it? Could just be an honest mistake.

That's Randy Knol's site, you should drop him a message to let him know. His forum username is "DC".

I sent him a PM.

Watermark your photos, people!

I know, I should do it too.

Look, I hate watermarks, to me they just ruin a pictue.  I don't mind that Randy used my picture, I just think it should be accredited to the person that has the collection and took the picture.  If Fred Snyder has the Brachiosaurus on the left as you look at the picture, then let him take a picture of it with his face in it.  The figure is rather rare, I've only seen one other one.  I'll be more then happy to supply any pictures needed to prove this is my set.

Here is the original picture I posted back in February of 2010.  If you look at my pictures from this period you will notice that most of them have the same Black Backdrop.  http://dinotoyforum.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=collections&action=display&thread=2366&page=9

It may obscure the pic slightly but watermarks are def worth it.  I know artists (some of which are on here) who have had their work stolen because they didn't watermark it. 

Even if you do a small one in the corner of the picture is better than nothing.  That way you can still mark it as yours but it won't get in the way.

Got it corrected!  http://www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/invicta2.html

Good news! I've been reading this but was too hesitant to comment. I've been assuming it happened accidentally, too, but I would still have been displeased if I had been miscredited.
