wertheim's photostream  

Sometimes I aim for art, sometimes I am trying to snap events for people. I enjoy critical comments so I can improve my photography skills. I would love to try doing more portraits. I usually simply take photos of scenes at night.

I love black & white and sepia photos that remind me of film noir. I also love photoethnography especially @ Europe and Japan.

If you are coming to Honolulu, check out or flickr group. We meet about every month, even if I am often unable to attend.

Intellectual Property / Using Images
I have many types of images on this stream from group snapshots to art and documentary photos.


Most of my images used to be available for Non Profit organizations under the Creative Commons agreement if you agree to the terms of Attribution, Noncommercial, Share Alike. Please note the terms on each image. Please credit "Photo: Drew Wertheimer." However I got very tired of my images being poached and re-posted without agreement of these terms. I have since changed all images to (c).

If you want to use the image for educational / non-profit use please e-mail me. Please give me the URL and title of the image and what you want to use it for. Thank you.

If you want to use my image for Commercial use, please secure the rights from Getty Images. Before signing with Getty I've had images used by the New Yorker, Oregon Public Radio, and a number of non-profit and a number of educational organizations.

If I posted a photo of you (and only you), please feel free to use it for whatever you like. Feel free to credit "Photo: Drew Wertheimer" but don't feel obliged. One reason I post photos is to make it easy for you to download your image. To download click on the magnifying glass icon, then click on "View all sizes" then you should see "Download the Large [or whatever size you select] size of this photo." It should then be available on your download folder.

By the way, please don't post blinking things (like awards) or very large images on my photo stream. Thanks.
