Those are great! Thanks for sharing them. Once I get a good collection of images going, I'll get them hosted up somewhere so anyone interested can browse them.
One question though...I read somewhere that there is some "fair use" law where you can use internet images for research and study without worrying about copyright issues - As long as you aren't publishing them in a book or using them to sell something, etc. Does anyone know the details of this? I have a lot of images now, but most of them are without permission, so I don't know if I could legally put them into an online album or not. As long as I'm not profiting in any way, I think it would fall into that fair use category?
Anne:
Shandiane, you are more than welcome to create an album for images you own or have permission to re-use on GlassGallery. It's the dedicated image hosting gallery for this board, so anything you upload there becomes a permanent reference source connected back to the board.
TxSilver:
Shandiane, I would not use a photo without permission. Fair use usually refers to taking small amounts of documented text. Photos are protected under copyright law. I doubt that many people would mind if you used a picture, since it wouldn't be for profit, but there may be one or two who would. For long term use, I would include only pictures that had permission and were credited to the original photographer if he/she wants the name mentioned.

That's really good, Shannon, well done. :clap:
Do you think a credit for the image contributor would be a good idea? It could go into the file information section for each image, also any more info about each piece as you find it - dates, makers, etc... it'll make a really good resource in time.
