Father and son surf lesson in Morro Bay, CA. Father is Ben Monmonier,
son is Julian Boqha Monmonier. I like this wholesome family-oriented
series of 12 images of a father and his son bonding during a surf
lesson. They had a great time, and the little grom Julian took the new
surf name Boqha to commemorate this step in his life. Boqha has
great form and is a natural. Watch for future commercial endorsements
for this athlete. The father gave me permission to photograph their
entire surf lesson today 21 Dec 2007 Friday 21dec2007 - Photo by Mike

dhglazer {at} gmail d o t com, That's a great project. I'm always
very happy to contribute to these things.
dhglazer@gmail.comhttp://www.flickr.com/people/mikebaird/#credit
answers all questions about attribution, but I'm happy any way you
want to do it as I know consistently is essential. Best Success in
your ventures - I'm impressed w/ the YouTube Video and your www.evolutionofdad.com/ site - the world need more like this! dhglazer@gmail.com - From:
Dana via Flickr To: Baird, Michael - Subject: [Flickr] The Evolution
of Dad Documentary Project reaching out to you - :: The Evolution of
Dad Documentary Project reaching out to you. I recently discovered
the amazing photo you did, titled "Father and Son Surf
Lesson," and wanted to invite you to have it be included in a
feature documentary that I am making. My project, “The Evolution of
Dad,” explores the changing role of fatherhood in a way no other
documentary has previously. The goal of the film is to instruct and
inspire dads to get more involved with their kids – something I
believe can change the world. The film has already been mentioned in
Time Magazine and a related video was #1 on YouTube for Father’s Day.
More information about the project can be found at www.evolutionofdad.com. The beginning of the film will be a collage of pictures relating to
fatherhood and your photo would have the possibility of being featured
there. While there is no monetary compensation, if included in the
film, your picture will be viewed by a great many people and you will
be credited at the end of the film. If you are interested in taking
part in this project, write back and I will share with you the next
steps in the process. Please email me directly at dhglazer {at} gmail
d o t com. Thanks for your time. Looking forward to hearing back from
you. Sincerely, Dana H. Glazer, Director, The Evolution of Dad Project

Hm..I was under the impression that iStock only needed model releases for photos of identifiable human faces. Very nice picture though.
mikebaird 53 months ago | reply
Sunoi Waya, iStockphoto is very strict - in addition to stated policy, if the subjects in the image could recognize themselves based on location, dress, form, then they will require model releases also.

Not sure if anyone from Toyota contacted you - I certainly was not - but I just found my photo and yours used on their new web campaign for the 4Runner.
www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/4Runner/ - then click the Surfing tab

Update:
There are apparently two separate 4Runner sites and Toyota has removed the Flickr photos from www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/4Runner/ but not from www.toyota.com/new4runner/
