sneaky way to hide your watermark! looks pretty kewl cuz it would take someone forever to remove them all. great way to insure your shots are safe from photo-thieves!!

I thought the whole idea of putting a watermark on your image was so people saw who took the image?

I really like the idea if I was sending the image for some one to proof and they were supposed to see the entire image, but for most other work, I'd rather have people see my watermark. It's sort of like free advertising:D

Took me some time to notice them. Really great trick to stop pictures from getting stolen. I would expect the watermarks to be very visible on a print.

The best part is that a stupid picture thief might not even realize that he/she ripped marked images :)
