Follow up to picture stealing
Due to the increasing use of my pictures in unauthorized, inappropriate, and insulting ways, I have restricted access to my photo gallery. If you would like to view the pictures, please register. Note that all registration requests go through me.
For those of you who came from Google Images or something like that in the hope of finding some great picture to put on your web page, may I recommend you read this enlightening page regarding the theft of pictures.
I liked the idea of having my pictures out there for people to see. I liked getting comments in the gallery where people said they enjoyed my pictures. But that enjoyment has been scarred by the way I have seen my pictures used.

Excellent solution. I figured your pictures were online for the enjoyment of friends and family anyway, so this is a good change.
Can I still use your pictures in inappropriate and insulting ways if I keep it in the privacy of my own home? :-) Just kidding. I won’t photoshop your head onto Dick Cheney. Or paste George W. Bush’s head onto your bass drum, naming your “band” The Warmongers. Honest. But I might call it “G.O. Pee.” That will depend on if I can get the font right.
