An Enjoyable Blog Walking Day
You might have known by now that as an ex-icafe owner and a trying hard blogger, I spend most of my waking time in front of an outdated PC surfing the net and composing my blogs. Part of my surfing activity is to visit the blogs of others (I prefer to browse blogs by Filipinos) and we call this blog walking (sometimes called blog jogging depending on the time one spent in visiting a site). It is during this activity that I come to see how good the other bloggers are and yesterday I came across a very special blogsite which really made my day.
The weblog entitled Tracker Na Walang Magawa and bylined lancerie is more of photoblogs interspersed with text blogs. The site’s title reveals it is owned by a Filipino but there is no About page on the site so I cannot fully acknowledge the author’s identity. I know that posting some photos from his site is short of plagiarism but I did ask the author’s permission in my comment in his post. I will immediately pull down the images on this blog post should he turn down my request.
Lancerie’s blog that I admired most, Not the usual paint job!, is about a great painter named Eric (see photo) and his extra-ordinary painting jobs (see the “Before” and “After” photos which are self-explanatory). See the other wonderful blogs of lancerie at http://trackernawalangmagawa-lancerie.blogspot.com/ .

Thanks too for allowing me to use your images.
Hello Ed,
Wow, ang galing naman! Thanks for sharing it. Okey itong website/blog mo, I will share this with Uncle Mac. Madalas nasa computer lang siya since his wife, Baby died four years ago (Last death anniversary was June 3, 2009).
Minsan nga, itinatanong ka niya sa akin. Sabi ko busy sa Internet café.
Have a great day,
Roman
They’re really so beautiful…..and a great showcase of talent. I don’t think when you copy images from other sites is plagiarism. All you need to do is to just acknowledge the author or the blog /site link where you got the image.
Plagiarism is more on “literal content” such as novels, poems, any form of literature, musical lyrics, and musical compositions, thoughts and ideas—if you copy EXACTLY the whole thing without regards to acknowledging the author/writer/creator, and you represent them as your “own.” When you just use an image from the web, and did not copy the content related to it, that’s not plagiarism.
Unless the image you use has a copyright, you really need to ask the permission before using it no matter where or how or why you are going to use it.
So even if you did not ask permission from the author, but you properly acknowledge the author of that image, and you did not copy exactly his thoughts/content related to his images,it’s fine.
But that is so good and polite of you. You asked permission.

Thank you very much for these information. Now, I know when I plagiarize somebody’s intellectual property or copyright.
