Image Rights

All rights to images are to the individual photographer.

This site is about images. Images have creators. I respect creators. I will always credit images as fully and accurately as I can.

I am in contact with a few photographers at once securing permissions. In cases where I cannot contact the photographer or name the photographer I always offer a URL source. When I can link to the photographers work I will.

I attempt to write about photographs from angles not otherwise exhausted on the wide world interweb. I do not use images for minor reasons or repurpose them for cheap recognition.

If I am discussing a photograph it is because I care about what it depicts, I have researched the issues surrounding it, and I value it as a social document that has the capacity to bring about changes in peoples’ thinking.

That said, if I am asked by a photographer to remove her or his images, I will do so without hesitation.
