This project started after a company I do web services for received an email from a company called pixsy. The email demanded $1,200 over a photograph that was supposedly free to use as long as it is attributed to the photographer. The letter went on to threaten legal action if the fee was not paid. Keep in mind the image is still available for "free" from the same site I previously used for all of my stock photos. Attribution is something I take seriously and I'm reasonably certain this particular photographer moved the photo in order to intentionally break the attribution link. No warning to take down the photo, no option to correct the attribution, just a demand for cash. I feel sorry for the next person who uses that photo because I suspect he will spring the same trap on them. So instead of spending $1,200 on his free photo trap I'm spending it to build this site.
Pictures on this site are a combination of traditional photography and A.I. generated images. Images are 100% free forever! If you want to use them on a blog, great! If you want to print them, do it! Want to put them on products to sell? Sure go ahead! You owe me nothing for the images EVER. If you want to provide attribution for the picture that would be awesome! if you don't, no big deal (For real though links back to this site help). That being said, if you do happen to feel so inclined as to help support this project please consider purchasing one of these items so I can keep this site up and running. I hope you enjoy these images and I look forward to seeing them everywhere! |
