<\/a>As I mentioned in last month’s Captain Kimo Newsletter, I said I was changing my watermark to something more appropriate for my needs. However I didn’t explain in detail why I made the change. I’ve also got a few request from others asking why I did what I did. Some folks also voiced their opinion about the watermark saying it was too distracting. So in this article I am going to attempt to explain my reasoning behind changing my watermark.<\/p>\n At the beginning of my photography career I didn’t use a signature or watermark. But coming from a Graphic Design background I felt I needed to brand my images so it doesn’t get lost with the other billions of photos on the internet. So a few months later I developed a signature and started putting it on the bottom of each photo.<\/p>\n The photo below shows a sample of my first signature.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The photo below shows a sample of my second signature.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n That signature worked great for my needs at that time but I realized a year later I needed to put my website address on it so people know where to see more of my images. Also having the website address allowed people to contact me incase they wanted to use the photo commercially. So I changed my signature and added my website address.<\/p>\n The photo below is a sample of my signature with website.<\/p>\n
