Stashing
the low resolution versions here as a reminder for future assignment
work or print purchasing is OK - they end up in your hard-drive
cache, anyway - and there is so much that is lost in the process
of 'compacting' a 16x20 " print down to 400x500 pixels or so for the web,
what you end up with is ... like a bad xerox copy.
However....that's
about all you can do with them.
In addition to the lawsuit that I, or any photographer or artist
could file against an infringer, consider this - it could easily
apply to ANY image you see on the web:
Everything
in the 'Assignments Portfolio' has been published by a BIG corporation,
some of whom have extended rights to the work - they have legal
staffs that would be most distressed to discover that work
their company had commissioned and paid well for was being used
elsewhere, without permission.
Everything in the 'Art (Coast and Desert) Portfolios' and the California landscape sections has already
been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
So, if you're thinking about any more 'ambitious' uses than your
browser has in mind... you might want to think twice - you never
know whose toes you could be stepping on.
If
you would like to use or purchase something, it would be a lot better
to E-Mail
Bob.
