hahah I'll have to agree with you
if theyre your photos any competent photographer would keep an original copy of their image on hand so if need be you have an image without your name...
usually not as bad as you'd think. I taught a little photoshop session at work, and to show them several tools, I taught them how to remove my watermarks from my photos.
Nice. But, depending what's behind the watermark and how complex the watermark is, it can get really tedious. Especially for someone who doesn't really know what they're doing.
