David don't ever sign on the photograph itself. And I don't care what anyone 
else says, period.

Sign on the print rebate, including date.. something like "  '05 after your 
name. In pencil if it's a matte surface or as I have done for sometime with 
a "Sharpie" micro point pen, if other surface than matte.

Given that my prints are usually matted and signed on the matte prior to 
framing and glass, it makes it quite simple.
