Copyright/Terms & Conditions

Copyright law is technical and involved.  To add to the confusion, there is a widespread misconception that everything on the internet is free.  This is unfortunate.  I want you to be comfortable and enjoy this site, but also understand the rules governing its use.  So, we need to be perfectly clear here.

To put it in a nutshell … if a person did not create a piece of art, photo, etc., it does not belong to that person, and as such, he/she may be in violation of the U.S. and International Copyright laws by using it.  Simply, using a copyrighted work without written permission of the copyright holder is theft.

The entire content of this site is formally protected under all Copyright laws.  I actively maintain and protect my copyright.  Accessing and using this site constitutes your agreement to be bound by the web site Terms & Conditions.

What does this mean for you, the viewer?  You are granted license to temporarily download one copy of my images for personal, non-commercial, transitory viewing only on your computer monitor–not for copying or storing in any form or using in any way.  Upon terminating the viewing, you must destroy the downloaded image/s by deleting your history and clearing your cache.  No other use is authorized.

What if you purchase one of my prints?  The copyright does NOT go with the sale.  The image may not be copied, scanned, modified or reproduced in any way.  Purchasing a print is for display or for collection only.  No other use is granted including commercial.

My heirs and I reserve all rights–future, present and past.  There, now, please read the web site Terms & Conditions, which follow in full.  For the more curious, go to the U.S. Copyright Office web site:    www.copyright.gov
