It’s been an interesting couple of days. The photo above ended up in the Irish Times newspaper yesterday. They had a Sligo supplement. My name wasn’t given and I didn’t know the photo was being used.
It turned out the photo was taken from a Sligo B&B website who have also used my photo without permission. This is a real bugbear of mine. I usually always say yes if I’m asked for a photo to be used. In fact another of my photo’s was also in the supplement. The Sligo Chamber asked to use it and I said yes….although again my name wasn’t given.
Anyway the Irish Times were very apologetic and it’s sorted out now. No news about the B&B though.
Onto other things. Jono is still loving his course. They went to Bundoran yesterday for a day trip and he had a ball. He finds it very tiring but apart from that he loves it.
He was just in for the afternoon today so Lucy and I were in town but it was lashing rain, so we decided to go to the cinema. We went to see Bridesmaids. I have to say it’s the funniest film I’ve seen in ages. We were both laughing so much the tears were streaming down our faces. My stomach is still really sore from laughing!
Sorry to read about this Val, you’d think that website owners would know better these days about using images without permission!! I hope it gets sorted.
Thanks Eadaoin. I also saw it on Discover Sligo’s Facebook page…but after I left a comment they deleted it.
Bad news Val. I was messing with that new thing in Google where you give it an image and it will try to find matches – It came up with four apart from your original, and Facebook wasn’t one. Your problem is that your photographs are too good. I love them!
Thanks Grandad. The Facebook one got deleted. I tried the Google thing earlier but it wasn’t working.
that’s a horrible experience, Val. theft, really. it’s a gorgeous shot, though, so pls keep on clicking!
Thanks Clare. Someone did tell me not to put photos on the internet if I don’t want them to be taken…..but that would finish the blog for me. So I will still keep clicking.
