About Payton Chung / Payton Chung  

Want permission to use a photo? Please, go right ahead! Click on the "Some Rights Reserved" link (below & to the right of the photo) to learn more about Creative Commons. There is no need to ask permission, and I will ignore most such requests. It saves everyone's time, so that we can go outside and take photos instead. If you really have to let me know, please do so by leaving a comment on the photo instead.

Do you have a higher resolution file? No. The largest size available here on Flickr is the highest resolution file that I have. If you're looking to use a photo of a building in Chicago, I might be able to re-take the photo if you ask politely and with a few weeks' advance notice.

Don't believe the "Taken on..." date for any photo of mine that doesn't also list the camera make; editing overwrote the EXIF on those photos.

Alarmingly well-read, clean cut, disarmingly insouciant, colorblind, and idealistic to a fault. I've piloted countless conveyances: kayak, pogo, segway, unicycle, and most thrillingly, a wheelchair skitching off a bicycle during a downpour, but never a car. Regardless of mode, I brake for pedestrians and pastry shops.
