Michael, I already removed it. I did find it in Flickr’s Creative Commons (accidentally typed WANA Commons), so make sure you see if someone has poached it there and have it taken down. Lately there has been an issue with sock-puppets posing as other people even in the writing community. I apologize. As an artist, myself, I work hard to only use art that is free to share and only use images from Creative Commons. I like picking ones with “Attribution” and check the rights because it helps other forms of artists gain audience and get known. But as a thought, we have photographers who regularly contribute images for us to use. This blog has a lot of traffic and I know many of the photographers have benefitted financially because writers need images and I forward them on to those who contribute.

I regularly have magazines, publishers, editors seek paid images from photographers who contribute because they see them here. Frank Selmo is a professional photographer who lets us use some of his images and it is fantastic free advertisement. I realize some images are special, but there might be some good ones you have you’d like to share and I can include a hyperlink to your site. Your work is really beautiful and it would be a privilege to highlight it.

If not, now worries. Just know it was unintentional and I am very sorry. There are people who poach images from others. Just know I did try to do my due diligence as a fellow creative person, and I’m so sorry your image wasn’t approved. It was not for lack of effort to protect your work.

You can get all the recordings.
