watermarks?

so let me start out with saying i've always been one to think watermarks were very ugly and distracting, but it wasn't untill recently that i started giving them a possible chance.
i am not necesarily intrested in them for the copy write issue (however i was just involved with a stupid argument when a local company was using my photos for advertising and he stated "they should have had your copy write on them" thats another story)

basically i realized in a way i kind of like watermarks as it tells me who shot the photo
i can be browsing myspace and realize i know that photographer or if i like their work i can google the name and find more images to view and possibly be inspired by.

i saw a very simple water mark by Zander Taketomo from city-people.com
his water mark was just in small text; it said the skaters name and the trick, and under was © + his name

i liked it, it gave all the information without hogging from the photo

example of me potching his watermark




so what do you guys think about all this, still ugly and pointless to watermark?

aitken

love/miss that tire

jackson hawk.

jackson posted a bunch of sweet photos from the trail session that i missed

and i totally thought this photo was of chase hawk

"the vender client relationship"

this video is so amazingly good and i wish every company saw it
it can easily be applied to the photography/graphic design world, when small and large companies or just random people feel like they can use your images/work for free/very little cost.

aj anya

what to say about aj....he has way to much energy, i'm talking all day everyday, i can't comprehend it. this video is pretty old, but i just saw a high quality version of it so i figured i would post it, i rember seeing this video before i met him, and then the first time i saw him ride this same exact song was bumping in the hanger at woodward west and it was pretty awesome
the song makes me want to party all night
