Copyright your work.
You can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 2 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $45 per application.
Despite what others state, a "poor man's" copyright is NOT the same as registering it. Here's what the US Copyright Office has to say:
"The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself is sometimes called a 'poor man’s copyright.' There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration."
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Use Kodak professional paper for your photographs, it has a a disclaimer printed on the back that any other professional will respect and will not duplicate. Get a stamp made up at a quick print that says the same thing, this is not to be duplicated except with permission from the artist.
