I've read numerous threads about people having their photos stolen through various means of downloading from the internet, but my question deals with the risk having photos stolen by print shop stores/companies?
Back in the days of film, I took one of my negatives in to a local photo processing shop for some custom work. I got my enlargements, and I was happy. A couple weeks later, I went into the same store, and noticed that the owner had one of my photos printed, framed, and hanging on the wall. I confronted him about it, he recognized me immediately, and simply said that he "collected" nice photos from his customers to decorate the shop....
So, now I'm decorating a new home & office, and I'd like to print up some nice enlargements, and I'm wondering about how to protect my digital media. Is it even possible? I'm not a pro, just a hobbyist, but I still prefer to handle my photos carefully. Any recommendations on good/trustworthy places to print enlargements? Thanks.
