Photo and image use policy ~ M. D. Vaden
Stock photos provision. Hyperion thumbnail for blogs or websites
Wikimedia permission statement included too
This photo policy applies to the Largest Coast Redwoods photos and albums, www.mdvaden.com web page images, and all other photos by Mario Vaden
Almost all images on www.mdvaden.com and in the albums belong to Mario Vaden, with Copyright of 2003 and more recent. Only a handful were released for public domain.
Most photographs are point and shoot. I'm not a photographer. But people occassionally find an image they want to use as stock photography for a website header, web page, book illustration or brochure. I can provide a stock photo license if you find a photo that fits a need. Cost depends on the image & use.
Some files are big enough for 12"x16" posters, but resolution of many fits mugs, website or brochure needs.
For non-profit temporary use involving large images, say school projects, borrowing an image should be fine.
For websites, you can use a 200 pixel or smaller image without permission. For those reduced photos, include a link to www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml, the redwood page.
If the 200 pixel reduced image is other than a redwood or redwood forest, link to my home page www.mdvaden.com along with photo credit and copyright caption on the same page near that 200 pixel image.
Hyperion the tallest redwood, must be smaller: no wider than 150 pixels. Likewise, include copyright, photo credit to Mario Vaden, and link to the same redwood page www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml
For your convenience, the small thumbnail image to the left is a 150 pixel wide photo of hyperion that you can use on your website or blog.
