Thank you for viewing my photos, they are here on Flickr to be shared. Be advised that "shared" means looking is OK, but downloading them without permission is considered to be theft on the vast majority of my photos that are "all rights reserved"

Please do not ask me to use one or more of my photos "for free" and only a simple credit with my name. I have had a variety of organizations approach me requesting use of my photos. They are available for license through Getty (follow the link on the photo page). Just as most people---and probably you, do not work without compensation, I expect the same. Telling me that you want to use my photo in exchange for a mere credit is essentially telling me that you do not think my photo is worth anything. A lot of time, money, and hard work has gone into these albums. In a few cases, I may be willing to help out a good non-profit cause, however it has to be something I would actively be willing to support. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the photos. Thank you!
