Use of this work
Terms
This site is a quiet window into the natural world. These terms keep the photographs available to look at, share modestly, and license properly.
Looking
You are welcome to visit, watch the slideshow, and sit with the photographs. The site is meant to be restful. There is no account, no advertising, and no requirement to buy anything in order to look.
Authorship and AI
Each photograph is the work of the photographer named on its page. Some images may include AI assistance, or may be AI generated in whole or in part. Where that is relevant, the photograph page includes an AI generation assessment explaining why the image does or does not appear to be AI generated.
Copyright
Copyright in each image belongs to the photographer. Nothing on this site transfers ownership. Titles, descriptions, and other writing on the site are likewise offered for reading, not as a grant of rights beyond what is stated here.
Non-commercial use
Non-commercial use of the images is permitted with industry-standard attribution. That means naming the photographer, and linking to this site or to the photograph page where it is practical to do so. Personal enjoyment, education, and editorial illustration that is not sold or used to promote a business fall in this category.
Commercial use
Commercial use requires industry-standard permission and license fees. That includes advertising, product packaging, paid publications, stock substitution, training data, and any use that supports a business or a paid product. Contact the photographer named on the photograph before using an image commercially.
The site itself
The website, its design, and its software are provided as they are, for presenting these photographs. Do not scrape the collection as a substitute for a license, and do not present the images as your own.
