I watermark any image I publish mainly for leeching reasons. With a high profile site like Ultimatecarpage.com it is very usual that images get leeched. The bandwidth this takes can get very expensive. So from a publisher's point of few it is very professional to brand images. Every image here gets the credits they deserve, so I don't ever claim media shots to be mine.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
