So much for quality photos...

Unfortunately in India there is so much of a rush to make celeb sites and galleries, that finding unwatermarked, or even leaving that, small watermarked photos is next to impossible. There are very few sites that offer those and they themselves have ripped them off from some other paid website and chopped off the watermark.

Well all this unfortunately means that finding high quality photos showing barefeet celebs(no simple task in the first place) is an extremely tough task. And so in many cases the photos and wallpapers you see here are not of good quality. (and in most cases have terrible watermarks)

Well unlike in western countries, where finding photos that are unwatermarked is quite easy, its no so in India. Here we have a mad rush of people opening sites everyday of celebs and celeb gallery. I don't have any problem with that. What i hate is that they do not offer the people a choice to remove the watermark. I don't think i will ever put on a photo that has 1/4th area(an exaggeration yes, but not by much i dare say) occupied by the site name or a horrible logo. Even big sites who actually purchase the original photos from the photographers have been guilty of this(read indiafm,santabanta). While granted they want to protect their investment, i would still prefer if they devise some method of letting users download at least 1 unwatermarked wallpaper per day. I have seen this site do that using a form currency based system, and i can't see why others can't also.

oh well that's about that. More a post to explain why an art blog has so horrible photo quality. I hope you got the drift.

Till next time.. cheers
