Father and son surf lesson. Scenes from near sunset at Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA, 30 Nov. 2008, during big 14' swells when many people were out watching the wave action. This little grom ripped these swells like an expert. Photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird bairdphotos.com, Canon 5D w/ Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens handheld.

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

Subject: Permission to use your photos; Date: 3rd May, 2010; Hi Mike,
I am the coordinator of a project being conducted by the Freemasons
Foundation Centre for Men's Health (FFCMH) at the University of
Adelaide (Australia) in collaboration with scientists from the
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
and the University of South Australia. Our project is a health
promotion program specifically designed for men and comprises four
principal components: healthy eating, physical activity, sleep, and
stress management. The project team is aware of several of your
photos on Flickr under the Creative Commons Agreement. We believe two
of your photos (below) would be extremely valuable to include in the
cover one of our print materials, the GIRTH Physical Activity Program.

B. Father-daughter joggers on Morro Strand State Beach, Morro Bay, CA www.flickr.com/photos/mikebaird/2626778991/
The booklet is a physical activity program for men incorporating
aerobic and resistance activities and reduction of sedentary
activities. We aim to present physical activity as something not
solely focused in a gym. I am therefore writing to request permission
to use the above photos. We will of course acknowledge you in the
booklet.
I hope to hear from you. With thanks and kind regards, Doreen.

13 May 2010. Creative Commons use discussions have been going on re: "...use of this image on the cover of a
quarterly magazine for the clients of 'Era', one of polish mobile
network services provider. We like the image because it perfectly
suits the summer issue. The magazine contains mailny so called
'free-style' texts, which means articles about interesting places to
visit, hobbies, music, technology etc, and amongst them of course
Era's new offers for the clients (it's something like the airline
magazines you usually get when you fly).
The image would not advertise anything specific, it'd be the cover.
However, since there are people in the photo, I'm not entirely sure
whether the above use would be possible/allowed when it comes to the
publicity rights, I'm aware you don't have the models release to use
the photographs publicly."
I (Mike Baird) replied: "Hania, I would personally interpret this
use not to be strictly "editorial" since it is in a
promotional vehicle intended only to advertise and promote the Era service, and it could be interpreted that the people shown here, especially on the cover,
are happy users of and/or recommend that service. Thus, if I were the
publisher I'd want a model release which unfortunately is not
obtainable for this image. This is why iStockphoto, for example, will
not buy these images from me without such model releases. Having said
that, many people do use my images in similar ways. It all depends on
how much business risk you want to take. I'm fine with you using it, but I can't speak for the models. As I understand the law, any liability rests with the publisher and user of the photo, and not the photographer or taker of the photo.
Please do send me a copy of the magazine after it is published if you
decide to assume that risk and use it anyway.
I agree it would make a great cover."
Potential Publisher has thus been apprised that no model release can
be obtained or granted... and that in such use the publisher would
have all liability.

Note that no compensation would be received by the photographer... and
I (Mike Baird) explicitly distance myself from this proposed Creative
Commons use.
