Beats my 2,500 by a long shot. Intrigued, I visited your site and was
impressed by your statement:
>LEGAL STUFF: You are free to use them, but you can't sell them or use them on products for sale without permission. Depending on what the use is will depend if you will need to pay for that use. Regardless, if you distribute any picture in any way, you must give credit where credit is due.
This is broadly what I allow/deny with my work. I started to browse
your site and when I encountered the shopping basket icon, I thought
"uh-oh, it's another one of *those* sites...". But I was wrong. You do
effectively give your work away for personal use, in a variety of
sizes, too.
I don't offer prints but I do display at 'screen-size' - generally no
larger than 1280 x 1024. I don't make any attempt to disable saving by
right-clicking.
Perhaps, like me, you took the older, wiser, pragmatic view that you
figured you had something to say photographically, and that you
wouldn't be able to share *your* view of the planet effectively if you
put up barriers like only-small-images-available-unless-you-pay.
We're so bombarded with slick, commercial images these days that
people get blasé, but I'm sure that us amateurs - who do it for the
love of it - can sometimes impress. Who'd be a professional anyway...
all those babies and weddings! ;o)
