‎"You just have to live and life will give you pictures." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

“As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.”
-Sam Abell, American photographer (known for his work for the National Geographic Society)

When posting photos of things I've seen or places I've been, I always try to share some information that I've run across... So, like an After School Special or Fat Albert cartoon:
"If you're not careful, you may learn something!"

For a representative sample of my photos, see my favorites here.

27 of my photos have been in Flickr Explore at some point; see them here!
Profile Widget from FD's awesome Flickr Toys.

Me: Completely amateur photographer with no formal training who has just enjoyed snapping pictures throughout my life... If something catches your eye, let me know -- PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS! (Thanks!)

I grew up on a farm on a dirt road 3 miles from a town of 700 where I attended high school; went to college 300 miles away and lived in a dorm that had a population almost as large as my hometown. Upon graduation, I moved to an urban area of around 5 million people.

All images and videos here (any photos on Yahoo/Flickr web site(s) under the user IDs "BennyPix" or "BennysPix") are original works, copyrighted and fully owned by Benny Lasiter.

Public display or use of these images without explicit permission from me is strictly prohibited.

Uncompensated non-commercial use may be granted under Creative Commons license on an individual basis. Commercial use requires payment for a limited-use license; fees to be determined by the copyright owner based on usage and volume. Please contact me for pricing.

Please contact me if you wish to purchase prints of any of my images.

All commercial (including ad-based/revenue-generating web page) use of these images and videos is strictly prohibited without negotiating compensation and/or permission prior to use. Failure to attain permission and negotiate compensation prior to use constitutes an agreement to pay all compensation determined by the copyright holder without negotiation. The copyright holder reserves the right to refuse the use of these images and videos in any context deemed to be objectionable, inappropriate or undesirable.

Why are my photos and videos no longer available under Creative Commons license?
Because business-oriented web sites like "realtor.com" maintain that they are not required to abide by the "Noncommercial" provisions of the license (per a representative of their legal department). I am more than happy to consider licensing use of my images and videos but expect fair compensation for commercial use...

Likewise, I check all favorites my photos and videos receive -- if I don't know you, your profile is empty and you don't have any photos available for me to view, you will be blocked.
