It suprises me, but multiple publishers (two) have now asked me for permission to use some of my photographs in books (a children's book and a science textbook). Whether these projects ever see the light of day, I do not know. If they do, you can be sure that I'll publish the Amazon link so that you can buy them (not that it'll do my pocket book any good). This chas caused me to think about using one of the Creative Commons licenses for this entire website, photographs and all. My current feeling is the 'with attribution, non-commercial' license. However, I don't want to put off commercial people -- to whom I will probably grant a zero cost license. Is this a trend on the Internet? Is this a way to get images rather cheaper than using stock photography? Or is it just that the Google image search engine gives better results than Corbis? I'm not sure that it is much cheaper -- the going rate for this type of image from a commercial organization would appear to be $100 - $200. I only ask for photo credit and a copy of the resulting book -- though I have yet to receive anything! Just in case you wondered, one was interested in pictures of Hydra and the other, water meters!
