Great View From That Angle
This might not be the most efficient spanking position, but you know there’s a great view from that angle:
A note about attributions and watermarks: This picture comes from another spanking blog, and thus I’d normally provide a link credit. Unfortunately, the owner of that blog has undertaken what I can only view as a selfish uglification program; he’s made it his practice to put a watermark or monogram on “his” images, which I find rather offensive given that these are not pictures to which he has any legitimate claim.
When it comes to vintage porn, all we bloggers are in the same boat; we don’t usually have any specific permission to publish these images and we don’t have any way to get permission from, or even to properly credit, the original photographers and publishers. So, all we can do is provide links by way of credit and thanks to whomever it was made the images available to us. Legalities aside, that’s just good karma.
But branding these images with our own URLS or logos or initials? That’s making an unwarranted and unjustifiable claim to the pictures. Worse yet, it’s a form of damage to the artistic heritage of our little kinky community. By the time I’m done using Photoshop to clean up the mess, any sense of karmic obligation I might feel to provide link credit to the perpetrator tends to have evaporated.
In my years of spanking blogging, I’ve put a ton of images on the web for the first time, and seen them spread (uncredited) all over the internet. Do I like that feeling? No; I’d sure appreciate the acknowledging gesture of a link credit. But they’re not “my” images, which is why you don’t see me slathering a spanking blog URL all over them.
