It's my picture. I own it. I took it myself with my digital camera. It doesn't need copyright info.

All images on Wikipedia are required to show copyright info and an appropriate license. – ukexpat (talk) 13:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I did stipulate that this photo was mine and was available for public use. I noticed that information had been conveniently removed when it was dropped to thumbnail, and then I received this copyright message. The photo does not need a copyright because I took it. It's MY photo that I PERSONALLY took with MY camera.

I have reverted the image back to a thumbnail as it is way to big to be displayed in the article at full size. – ukexpat (talk) 13:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

You what? Forget it. I've already told you that I took the picture myself. I even proved it. I'll take the thing off myself. If I'm not good enough to put my own photo on your site, then your site isn't good enough to put my work on.
