Hi!
At first, kiriban 955 555 is VERY close!
At second, photo trip to ZOO Bratislava was a fail. I love visiting ZOOs in winter, they are usually calm, animals are more active and are more curious about you. ZOO Bratislava was nicely covered with snow, but ALL the animals were hidden, I have never seen such an empty ZOO
the only animals I could photograph were wolves (but in totally photographer unfriendly enclosure) and red pandas. I predicted big cats would be closed in indoor enclosures, but I forgot those exhibits have only natural light which comes through roof windows. But nobody bothered to remove the snow from the roof, so light could not get inside and the indoor cat enclosures were SO dark that one had troubles to even spot the cats there
it was absolutely impossible to take a photo. And finally, I got stuck in Bratislava, freezing in wet shoes and jeans for more than 60 minutes without moving, so I wonder if I get some illness
At third, I failed in NAT GEO contest
thank you very much for the votes, you got my shot of amazing wolf Lobo into TOP 20. TOP 10 was chosen by experts and all the people got some wonderful prize - but the experst did not include my photo which ended in the last 10 together with masterpieces like

amrodel got 7th and 6th place, winning a one year ticket to ZOO Prague: congrats, girls!
I am jealous and at the same time, I think you should get much better place
I do not understand the experts, Amrodel's professional photo (

[link] hm... ok, girls, once more, congrats
At fourth, I am really devasteted about my photos being stolen again. Some -------------- took my photos, removed my signature and posted them on facebook. That person already got 400 000 fans. When I complained about usage of my photos, this person posted a status which clamed HER as a victim of haters (haters = me and my friends whose photos ALSO got stolen). That stealing person got so MANY supporting comments from her fans... they encouraged her to not mind us... Do not they understand that they encourage her to steal more? That it is US who feel bad and depressed because our stuff got stolen?

TVD-Photography to learn more about it, I am too tired and depressed to deal with other theft
I somehow can not bear it. I have so many troubles right now and this is really getting me down.
I am tired with this, people
I mean REALLY tired
I have never wanted to ruin my photos with large watermarks (yes, I know I use three signatures, but I still keep saying those are decent ones!), but I propably have no other chance. Very soon, my photos will the most likely get a huge watermark which would cover remarkable part of the main photo's subject. Please, blame the thieves, not me...
At fifth, we have really really bad family problems with my grandda, we are angry, worried, scared, nervous, moved and sad at the same time
we would like to help but I am afraid we are considered an oposition, not a helping partner. We get the behavior we do not deserve and we do not know if it is caused by normal granddad's personality (which is very complicated) or if it is caused by some illness. We deal with this situation several hours a day, calling whole the family, doctors, preparing various scenarios... it is very exhausting

...who is the one who keeps returning to this page to throw out accusations? All Woxys wants is for her photographs to NOT be posted on that Facebook page without her permission. She hasn't done anything aside from request the photos be taken down, which they have been. YOU are rekindling the drama. Leave her alone.

Tereza Holá (15. leden 2013): I have already contacted my lawyer. And of course, I reported this to Facebook, asking the company to block your account.

I do not know who you are, but I have already contacted facebook, so let's see what happen, dear.
and NEVER. I mean NEVER use my art again. I will report every single image. And yeah, as an artist, I DO have my lawyer, so well.... you can expect a lot of fun if you keep reposting my art

I have no idea what your art is or even who you are.
I responded to you in such a heated fashion because I feel very strongly about artists and photographers being able to protect their art and photography, and in the importance of copyright. I believe that when you found the image, with the copyright text already removed, you didn't post it maliciously to steal. However, with this unfortunate event, something positive has come out of it, and that's a bit more knowledge on copyright. With a Facebook page as large as you have, this is very important knowledge to have, and I notice that you have been careful to include credit with the photos you have posted since the incident.
I will not respond with any more arguing or accusations, as that's not the way I try to behave in real life, and it's unacceptable for me to act that way online. I hope both parties here can find a peaceful way to settle this situation.
The first is replying using two different usernames and pretending they belong to two different people: ~sindrella8 and ~opheliamocha are both you. You use the same writing style with run-on sentences and no paragraphs, and you spell Woxys incorrectly on both. Stop doing this. Just use your Sindrella8 account, identify yourself as Cynthia, and stop pretending you're different people. No one is being fooled, everyone knows, and you can deny it until the sun goes down and the only person who will listen to your lie is you.
The second is this bit about being in the hospital. If you ARE in fact in the hospital, then I wish you a speedy and full recovery, and I am truly sorry about your illness. But even if this is the case do NOT keep pretending that you're too sick to use a computer and that your friends are the ones commenting 'on your behalf'. If you're well enough to use a computer, just say so.
And if you AREN'T actually in the hospital, then know this - there's no way for any of us to know for certain if you're in the hospital or not, but only you are the one who knows the truth about that...and let it sink in for a moment how shameful it would be to lie to people like that. It would be insulting to everyone who has a friend or family member who is in the hospital, to everyone worried about a loved one's well-being. Something like that is not a weapon for your argument's arsenal, and constantly using it in your posts is suspicious and just crumbles your credibility.
Please stop the lying. No one is harassing you. YOU are the one who keeps coming HERE to harass Woxys. I see no comments on the Facebook page as proof of anyone harassing you. Where is the harassment you claim is happening?
This wouldn't even have been so much of a problem if Woxys' contact information had been included with the image. It's not hard - if you don't know the owner of the image and can't get credit, don't post the image. Sure, you may have to give up on posting a photo or a painting you really like, but it doesn't belong to you. There are also tools online such as Google Image Search and Tineye where you can drag an image and find other places online where it is posted. 9 times out of 10, it will point you to the original artist.
The car example was used to give you an idea of what it's like to have something that belongs to you taken away. Yes, a car has a tangible value, but art has a value too. As Woxys said, she was able to buy a new camera through her print sales. For HER work, for photographs SHE took. Just because it's on the internet doesn't give people the right to steal it, in the same way that just because your car is parked on a public street doesn't give people the right to steal it. Just because something has a lower tangible 'worth' doesn't mean it's acceptable to steal it. Do you think it's okay to steal a pack of gum from a store, even if it's worth less than a dollar? Stealing is stealing, and I doubt the police officer who comes to arrest you would accept "but it was barely worth anything!" as an excuse.
and speak about your art, because... you know, you can ONLY speak about it
we WOOON
P.S.: I have sold so much prints throug dA that I could buy new camera in 2010, so I will definitely keep my stuff on the web and I will simply report anybody who steals my art
