For many who surround us, acquiring an image is only a few clicks away. Some download, some snap and upload. Then there are the creators who take the time to build these things from scratch and I think the odd reminder here and there, pointing out these things require more than the snap of the fingers, is healthy. Even when I look at photography, I can tell if the photographer went out of their way or simply snapped a picture of their day. There's always more to the story and it's often overlooked when all one can see is the finished product.

I don't know why but it reminded me of a time when my sister (who checks these things occasionally) found one of her pieces had been stolen. The person who was pretending it was their work claimed it had taken them "a couple of hours" to do and me and my sister were snickering as we knew how long it had taken her to do (a bit longer than a couple of hours).
Some things I can finish in a couple of hours but nothing like this. I wasted "a couple hours" on the original background. I can still use that as a 'base' for something though. All is not lost.
