I had so much fun covering a game for these Bangor Christian softball ladies the other night! We put together a quick team photo before the game. I'm sure they have so many great memories of this season!

Something is happening in Facebook groups across the internet that we need to talk about. Parents are posting our photos and asking strangers to remove the 207 Photo watermark for them. And other people, who either don't know or don't care, are doing it. Sometimes within minutes. Whole comment threads of "here you go!" with the edited file attached.

Here's what's actually happening when that exchange takes place. The person asking is committing copyright infringement. The person editing is committing copyright infringement. Federal law, not our opinion. Those photos are our property, licensed to families through purchase, and altering them to strip our branding is illegal.

We're working really hard not to raise prices this year. We haven't, and we don't want to. But every stolen photo shifts that cost onto the families who do the right thing and place an order. Being ethical shouldn't be made more expensive because of theft, but that's the direction this is heading.

I’m going to be really honest, I’m running out of patience and grace. When I was a kid, stores would hang pictures of shoplifters by the register. These days they post them on Facebook so the community can help identify them. Copyright theft is harder to prosecute than shoplifting, but the principle is the same. So from here on out, when we catch someone asking for our watermarks to be removed, or someone editing them out, we're going to start posting about it. Names and screenshots. Same as the grocery store down the street.

To be clear, we'll always blur the kid's face. They didn't do anything wrong. This is about the adults making the choice. If you love a photo, please purchase it. The digital download comes without a watermark because that's how this is supposed to work. - JM

What an honor to photograph the Leonard Middle School Symphonic Band's "Choose Joy" project/performance at their concert Thursday night.

The kids had written letters to people who bring them joy. Teachers, coaches, parents, mentors. Most of the recipients knew a letter was coming. None of them knew who wrote it. Some had no idea anything was happening at all.

As an introvert, I cannot think of anything scarier than standing on a stage while someone reads kind words about you out loud. And yet, watching it happen, I'm not sure there's anything more important. Most people go their whole lives without hearing the impact they've had on someone. These kids made sure a few people in this community didn't have to wait any longer.

Hats off to Shianne Priest for building something this brave into a middle school concert. She's celebrating 30 years as a music educator this year and I don't think the impact she personally has had over those years can be overstated. The kindness in that room was something I won't forget. And Shianne, I'm still mad you make my face leak every year at these things. - JM

Something heavy is happening in one of the communites we serve, and our family has been praying about how to best support them.

Jeremy Bousquet, the AD at Old Town High School, has been a partner of ours since 2017. Multiple sports, multiple seasons, always great to work with. Earlier this year his wife Rachel was diagnosed with stage one thyroid cancer and had surgery in February. A few weeks ago, Jeremy was diagnosed with two separate cancers, stage three colorectal cancer and a neuroendocrine carcinoma tumor. They've got a long road ahead, including trips back and forth from Maine to Boston for treatment.

Here's what we're doing. Today every dollar from this season's OTHS senior banner sales has gone directly to the Bousquet family in honor of the Class of 2026.

If you want to give directly, the family's GoFundMe is linked. Any amount helps. Share it, donate, or just keep them in your prayers. All of it matters.

Supporting Rachel & Jeremy’s Fight Against Cancer **All Proceeds go directly t… Robin Larlee needs your support for Support Rachel & Jeremy’s Cancer Fight

Every now and then a project comes along that I have to say yes to, because it feels bigger than the work itself. This past winter I photographed some beautiful images of Mt. Katahdin for Northeast Charter and Tour Co Inc, and the finished motorcoach is finally on the road. There's nothing quite like seeing your images wrapped across something this big, knowing they're about to travel the state as a rolling love letter to the Katahdin region. This beauty will be carrying folks through some of the most awe-inspiring country Maine has to give. What an honor to be part of it. - JM

I love that my inbox is being flooded with refrigerators and bulletin boards full of years of 207 Photo memories! It really makes my whole day!
