We all have similar stories. <br /><br />I've always done my best to honour copyright on Rusty Ring, using my own photos or ones found on Wikimedia or other public domain sites, but occasionally I'll use one whose status I'm not entirely certain of. (Only when it's perfect for the post and I can't find anything else as good, and only then if I can't find a clear copyright notice.) Like you, I will happily comply with any copyright holder's request if I've overstepped. <br /><br />And like you I give my own work to the world to use freely. A few of my pictures now appear in several corners of the Net, particularly those that have been picked up by Pinterest aficionados. Occasionally I Google an image or two just to see if anyone else has used it; once I surfed into a blog where a fellow blogger and readers were having a conversation about a topic I knew fairly well (having taken the photo that illustrated the post) and was able to answer some questions they'd raised. The author was grateful for my lack of possessiveness and my willingness to contribute. <br /><br />I like your photos! I just may steal a few myself some day.
