Our policy about copying images from this website. What we mean by "copying." Pretty simple... if you save an image on any form of computer storage media, including hard disk, or print the image, that's making a copy. We don't want to get into all the legalities of copyright... our concept is that the following guidelines describe the honorable thing for our visitors to do. Taking photos and scanning them is time consuming, as is maintaining this website. In return we would like to receive recognition for our efforts as do our contributors. Making copies for your own personal use. You may make copies for your own personal use freely. If doing so makes it easier for you to enjoy the images and information on our website, then our mission has been accomplished. Providing copies to others. We would prefer that you would give your friends the link to our website, but if you give a copy of one of our images to someone please inform them where you got it and refer them to this page so they can learn about our copying policy too. Using copies in a website, book, magazine etc. Here is where we get a little more demanding. It is important to hear from you about your desire to use a copy of an image in a website, book, magazine or other form of publication so we can tell you the details about legally using it. The requirements differ from one image to another. In some cases we can give you the go-ahead to use the image, but in other cases our contributors want to have that right. And we want to tell you what credit and link to use with the image. When we find copies of our images that have not been approved or properly credited it seems to indicate to us that our efforts are not valued. Some of our contributors get a little more upset. Our policy about copying photos and images for use on this website We say from whom we obtain images and who took the original photo if we know. If you tell us we have improperly used your image, we will immediately add the proper credit or remove the image, whichever you wish us to do.
