The opposite is true: I pay for the upkeep of the site, and the number of views does not bring me any money. <br> <br>Copyright matters <br> <br>All pictures were taken by me and I do claim copyright for them (except for some of scanned publications in which pictures of mine appear, click <b><a href="https://pbase.com/dosseman/me_in_print" target="_blank" >my Me in print</a></b> gallery). As for that copyright being violated: I am only partly worried. I would not like it if other people got rich using my pictures, without my getting a share. So far no one got rich there, so this is a moot point. <br> <br>Possible use and what to do <br> <br>Commercial use: This may be: use for books, commercial sites, television, articles, in short: any. Always send me an e-mail (dosseman@upcmail.nl) and tell me about your intentions, never use the picture without my knowing so. I may hand the right over for free, I may ask for a fee. On that you should mail me and we'll work something out. I can often supply better high-resolution copies, though I do not like the recent craze for "high resolution" meaning I am expected to send a 16 MB file for a 1 by 2 inch picture. My formats are: 5 to 6 Mp camera's for the early digital years, later 12 Mp and 16 Mp, most recently a 45 Mp Nikon D850. Slides I No longer have, but I scanned them again in 2018 in hi-res, and have not edited them all. And when requesting one or more pictures, please do not use references like "that nice picture of ornaments on a medrese in Sivas", but send me the link to the single shot when in view, for example: <A HREF="https://pbase.com/dosseman/image/35088644">https://pbase.com/dosseman/image/35088644</A> . Do this even when you refer to many pictures, it may be repetitive to you, but I have to locate pictures in a huge archive, and without such quick reference I'm lost. <br> <br>Private use: If you want to keep my pictures just for yourself, or to show to a few friends: feel free to download them (right click on the picture and use a "save" option). Best quality is obtained in the "original" view you can see under a picture. You may wish to inform me you liked the pictures and mail me, but the sheer fact that you download them does not bother me. <br>I consider using the occasional picture in a blog private use, so I do not need to be informed. But there I would appreciate it if I'm mentioned as the copyright owner. <br> <br>Professional use: by this I mean: using pictures in presentations, a thesis, a course. I like to at least have my name (as Dick Osseman) and if possible a link to my site shown. That is: if possible. In some presentations it would be silly, in a thesis it can easily be arranged. I like to be informed but it is not a must. <br> <br>Semi-professional: Some people request permission to use pictures on a website they created and often run as a hobby. I would like to treat that as "professional", and thus be informed. However: if it is for just a few pictures, I do not need to be bothered. I think it is up to your conscience. Again: indicate me as the owner of the copyright. <br> <br>I put <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Dosseman&ilshowall=1" target="_blank">pictures in Wikimedia Commons</a> (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Dosseman&ilshowall=1) . Some of those are not on my sites. </td></tr> </TBODY> </TABLE> </TD></TR> </TBODY> </TABLE>   <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=1 border=0 width="98%" align="center"> <TBODY> <TR><TD class="mi">Random Dick Osseman pictures <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0 bgcolor="#ffffff"> <TBODY> <tr><td class="wb"> <table border=0><tr> <td><A HREF="https://pbase.com/image/156244002" class="thumbnail"><IMG class=thumbnail src="https://a4.pbase.com/t9/28/410728/4/156244002.sP5xDa0u.jpg" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=107 border=0 alt="" loading="lazy" ></A></td> <td><A HREF="https://pbase.com/image/68919531" class="thumbnail"><IMG class=thumbnail src="https://a4.pbase.com/t6/28/410728/4/68919531.UFoxu3uQ.jpg" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=106 border=0 alt="" loading="lazy" ></A></td> <td><A HREF="https://pbase.com/image/157848096" class="thumbnail"><IMG class=thumbnail src="https://a4.pbase.com/t9/28/410728/4/157848096.bsb5KzxU.jpg" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=107 border=0 alt="" loading="lazy" ></A></td> <td><A HREF="https://pbase.com/image/143107095" class="thumbnail"><IMG class=thumbnail src="https://a4.pbase.com/t4/28/410728/4/143107095.7HITAEqP.jpg" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=106 border=0 alt="" loading="lazy" ></A></td> </tr></table> </td></tr> </TBODY> </TABLE> </TD></TR> </TBODY> </TABLE>  <br> </body> </html>
