WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays
But here’s the problem: the City of Delft went ahead and did
what so many businesses, agencies and individuals do nowadays –they grabbed an
image without the owner’s permission and used it to suit their own purposes without
any credit or acknowledgement to its maker. How rude!
I would have loved for them to mention that it was my design
alongside a link to my blog. They could have even mentioned it was my free
Easter Project, inspired by Delft and that everyone was welcome to create it.
Is it so hard to be polite? To be considerate?
The irony of this situation is that I would have been delighted
to allow the City of Delft to use my image, if they had only bothered to ask me.
In fact, I would have considered it an honour. Delft is a place I have always
wanted to visit and sharing my work with them and their readers could have and
should have been a real pleasure.
What Do You Think?
Is it really so hard to credit someone?
