So....my daughter went to Walmart today to have prints made of some of the pictures I recently took of the grandchildren but the folks there at first refused to do it because there were no copyright watermarks. Sarah explained that I had taken them and they had her sign a waiver affirming that and said they thought the shots were taken by a professional. Made my day!!

Unfortunately, that type of comment has appeared here many times. Print makers are so afraid of violating a pro's copyright that they refuse to print anything they think looks good. Pathetic situation. I'm glad you were able to get yours printed.

You're right, but it did stroke my ego a bit!

Things like that make the effort you've put into photography worth it.
