Three important things to know

I don’t allow comp use. Ever.

Comps, comping, comprehensive or presentation use of my work is expressly prohibited. The photography on this site, as displayed, is not allowed to be used by anyone for any reason without exception.

Placeholder use is forbidden

I do not allow my work to be copied and used as a placeholder. The mere categorization of “placeholder” use is nothing more than a synonym for “short-term theft” which is both illegal and disgusting.

No commercial relationship

I do not offer or recognize any kind of personal or commercial relationship that permits copying from this site. No person or company is ever granted an actual or implied license or any kind of permission to copy from this site.

Copyright protection for me as author and owner

Each and every photograph on this site is registered with the US Library of Congress which entitles me to statutory remedies under the law if my work is copied, altered or used without permission.

The photography displayed on this site contains Copyright Management Information (CMI) in the form of digitally embedded metadata, various correct copyright notices as well as visible watermarks. The willful act of removing the embedded CMI in my photography is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and is expressly prohibited.

I will vigorously defend and enforce my copyrights

If I discover that my work has been stolen I will pursue every remedy available to me under the laws of the United States or any other country where I have legal standing.
