Tags: i mean, you know, but on the other hand, of two minds about it, I know a lot of people reblog photography without attribution, is this post worse with that info added?, is it somehow aesthetically diminished?, I don't know, but I get curious about photos sometimes, and want to know more, and besides being, non-dickly, sourcing the photographer helps facilitate that, google image search isn't that much of a burden, I guess the you-must-source and the idgaf parts of me should fight, and see who wins, and I guess that's what I do every time an unsourced image crosses my dash, usually idgaf takes it, but once in a while you-must-source gets in a sucker punch when idgaf isn't paying attention, guess this was one of those, mostly because I've been looking at the namib desert a lot lately, A LOT, so it was cool to see an image of it float by in another context.

Tags: am I weird to think it's better if an artwork post has the source?, I like finding out more about things, and when I see a painting I like I want to know who painted it and when, but maybe that's me being overly analytical and missing the point of the art, which is to be looked at, but on the other hand, I know that most artists who put their work on tumblr prefer to have attribution included, and even though Adams has been dead more than 100 years, I think it's still nice to mention him.
