Welcome to the site!
This web site has many
purposes and there is a good chance that
one of these is why you are here:
-
Simply
to enjoy the images
- I hope that this
is always the case!
-
Research
the locations
presented - you
planning a trip to
one of the areas
featured on the site
and hope to see what
the area may look
like (YAP! - yet
another
photographer!)
-
Locate
a photographer
for your needs:
commercial,
advertising,
editorial or image
needs for other
purposes, family
portraits, pet
portraits, vacation
portraits, event
portraits or other
images for personal
use.
-
Some
other photograph,
image, or perhaps an
IT related need
Copyright Notice
All images and the other
web pages content on this site (or
anywhere) are protected by US and
International Copyright Laws. In
addition, the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act of 1998 imposes some
additional constraints on the use of
images. Copyright Law provides
immediate protection when anyone creates
an image - I also register my
images with the US Copyright Office -
this provides additional protection
against any copyright violation.
Please select the License Photographs
link (below) for more information on
licensing photographs.
Note that the owner of a
copyright has the right to control the
use of their images including seeking
compensation for any unauthorized use of
an image. If you violate their
intellectual property you may be liable
for a number of items: actual damages,
loss of income, and profits
you derive from the use of their image
and, if the images are registered (as
those found on this site), the costs
of collection and/or statutory damages
up to $150,000 (USD).
If you locate one of my
images being used commercially (on the
web or in print) without a license from
me then I encourage you to contact me -
I would be happy to provide a bounty
from any settlement that is the result
of the first reporting to
me via the contact form found on this
site of such a copyright violation
of one of my images. Note that if
a photo credit is missing and if
the site is a commercial site
(selling or advertising anything) then a
bounty could be in the cards...
