COPYRIGHT | 2025
All copyrights vest in the photographer (DSF).
Photographs herein, previously posted, and realized as limited and monthly prints have been formally copyrighted and may not be reproduced in any fashion without written permission from the photographer.
Please note: Images on this site are low-resolution files, whereas high-resolution files are used for all original prints.
The photographer reserves the right to reproduce all copyrighted works across media for any purpose. Such reproductions are not considered original. Photographs printed in both limited and monthly editions, however, are original, and thus alone retain that inherent value: necessarily qualified by an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity.
Moreover, “…ownership of a copyright, or of any of the exclusive rights under a copyright, is distinct from ownership of any material object in which the work is embedded. Transfer of ownership of any material object [for example, any physical print, item for sale, or publication], including the copy in which the work is first fixed, does not of itself convey any rights in the copyrighted work embodied in the object; nor, in the absence of an agreement, does transfer of ownership of a copyright or of any exclusive rights under a copyright convey property rights in any material object.”
Litigation shall be pursued over the non-willful or willful infringement of the photographer’s copyrighted material, at the brigand’s expense.

WATERMARKS
Unlicensed reproduction of content is endemic online. Therefore, embedded in each image are subtle-yet-destructive watermarks that eradicate critical data found only in the respective RAW file.
Removing a watermark will in no way restore the original data thereof. And so each watermark’s placement is intentional: by eliminating specific, irreproducible details. [Note: There are no watermarks in monthly or limited-edition prints.]
Should litigation become necessary over the misuse of the photographer’s copyrighted material — be it non-willful or willful infringement — the data obscured by said watermark, the metadata embedded in the published file, and of course the confirmable copyright itself shall collectively serve to reinforce the photographer’s legal ownership, at the brigand’s expense.
