Perhaps you should look into seeing whether or not it is working correctly since you did not receive my emails.<br /><br />All's well that ends well - I understand about the widget and have changed my API settings (no need to make my photos private - I don't mind when people view my photos from my Flickr page, I was just a bit surprised to see them being used elsewhere without my knowledge or permission). Obviously I don't perceive it as a "private collection" as you assumed or I would not have them set to "public". I do have my settings as "All rights reserved" and downloadable only by me, but was unaware that I also need to change my API settings. My apologies if I offended; that was not the intention.<br /><br />I do understand that you did not intentionally use my photos or others maliciously and I appreciate your honesty. But, please do understand that there are a lot of people who see no problem in using copyrighted photos and have no understanding of the laws, so it does raise a red flag to professional photographers when they find their work displayed elswhere.<br /><br />Again, I do apologize for the misunderstanding and have changed my settings in order to avoid this in the future.<br /><br />Have a good day. By the way, I've enjoyed reading your blog. It brings me back to the days I used to show...I think I still have my ribbons somewhere!Susan Harrington Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293343321914300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163125781709346657.post-37899567282545157572009-11-10T23:31:33.517-08:002009-11-10T23:31:33.517-08:00Susan, Posting a comment is not the same as emaili...Susan, Posting a comment is not the same as emailing and I never recieved an email. Your photos were picked up by a random slideshow program provided by blogger.com. I didn't choose your photos and your photos were not the only ones that were randomly displayed. If you photos were password protected, the program could not display them. If in fact, your account were private through flickr, the program again, could not display them. Since the program that runs random photos is available to virtually everyone everywhere, it would suggest I'm probably not the only one displaying what you percieve as a private collection. You may reinstate your photos or not but I have no control over what this widget displays. I will send a note to the blog company and the widget provider. I suggest you do the same.FlyingHorse2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17172115754518815617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163125781709346657.post-52326340515347496032009-11-10T09:56:01.153-08:002009-11-10T09:56:01.153-08:00Just a quick update!

I emailed you about this yesterday, and since I have not heard back from you, I'm guessing it's safe to assume you would like to continue using them.<br /><br />I'll email you a detailed invoice. Also, if any of your readers would like to purchase prints, they may email me at susanharringtonphotography@earthlink.net.<br /><br />Thanks so much, and have a great day!Susan Harrington Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293343321914300680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163125781709346657.post-42696574576612577862009-11-08T18:34:04.363-08:002009-11-08T18:34:04.363-08:00In all fairness, showing went from being a FUN tim...In all fairness, showing went from being a FUN time, to a painful time for me. Watching those horses, for several years- from weanlings in halter classes to their two and three year old years, MAYBE up to five year olds- going downhill was heartbreaking. The constant pressure from others in the ring with me to "do more" with my horses at younger and younger ages bothered me tremendously. And the night I went to the local horse sale, looking for a project horse (most likely an OTTB, we were quite near Saratoga and the Finger Lakes tracks,) one of those horses I had competed against went through. She was a pretty little QH mare, who would have had a lot of potential. She was nicely bred, nicely built, and completely DONE by the age of five. She had nothing left to give. <br /><br />I couldn't save her. The buyer that got her was not one who would be happy to make $50 extra over his purchase price, and stead fastly refused to re-sell. <br /><br />Showing became less and less fun, the more I learned (and still learn) about horses. Just watching what the horses were in effect saying in their movements haunted me at night. <br /><br />I took in who I could, and helped where I could, but I had to stop actively showing for a while. Who knows- maybe the time will be here soon, for me to return with a new horse, and let his story be told...<br /><br />(Sorry.. this got wordy!
