The Nick Alexander woody collection in Los Angeles

This copyright watermark is more important to the photographer of that image than the image. And don't you forget it. He's not inclined to have any parts of his photograph on the internet without that copyright watermark, and if it's that important to him that the watermark be on display... who am I to stand in the way of all of you viewers to know that his watermarked images belongs to him? So, there you are. Watermark is displayed right here dumbass.
