This story started back in November, 2012 with a hump day post which listed my favorite posts of the week. This post was fronted with a spectacular picture of tourists riding a caravan of camels on a white sandy beach in Cable Beach, Broome, Western Australia. Magical. I attributed the photo to the source and went on my merry way.
Last week, Julia Harwood, the owner and photographer from Western Australia, let me know the photo was hers and asked me to correct the attribution on my post. I had sent her an email apologizing. I never expected to hear back from her. I then proceeded to receive two wonderful emails from Julia along with her consent to post several of her photographs in the slide show below. I was inspired by her kindness and her living her motto of “Healing Art.”
Some artists/photographers pursue their passion as a hobby. Others, like Julia, rely on it as their primary source of income. Who pays for the camera? The film? The paint? The canvas? The supplies? The petrol to get to location? The time to wait for the perfect shot? Certainly not me. And the least I can do is continue to appropriately attribute and link the art work to the artist.
Check out the slide show below. This is Julia’s work. The seagull reflection. The peeling paint. The water splashing from a fountain. The early morning ironman. The moon balancing on the tip of a tree. Enchanting. Magical.
The act of attributing, especially the act of establishing a particular person as the creator of a work of art.

Attribution has come up several times over the past few days. It’s so easy for us to just copy and paste, link, or pin—it doesn’t feel like stealing, just *using.* So, reminders of etiquette, propriety and ownership are important in this media. Thanks, David.
On point Sandy Sue…
