# About me
One of my greatest joys is seeing new and talented artists & photomanipulators use my stock photos in fantastic works of art. I also love photos of reenactors and roleplayers in historical costume. To this end, I travel all over my little state photographing these wonderful people, and sometimes do a little modeling of my own.
I try to make my stock images as accessible as possible to artists of all stripes, within legal restrictions. I CANNOT therefore give permission for unrestricted use (profit and otherwise) for images of those persons from whom I do not have model releases. I've explained this in my Journal.
Aside from that one restriction, you will find that:
1) I NEVER password protect my images
2) I NEVER post "exclusive" stock for only certain persons
3) I NEVER charge a fee for the use of my images
4) I NEVER watermark my images! (really, what's the point of posting stock if you're going to watermark it?)
So enjoy! And, of course, I welcome positive feedback!

Just link on any group you want to be a part of and click the "join" button. You really do not need to write anything in the comment box, just submit. I admin 19 groups between my three sites, including #Group-Eaze that has a lot of helpful information regarding groups. In the meantime, I will invite into #WingIt-Stock and #Fantasy-Stock-Group
I have a folder just for Western Stock. #ManipulateThis had me search for Western Stock, which is how I found you

β¦It seemed only appropriate for me to send you some Lembas elven shortbread as a way of saying βthanksβ for the βs on my 100+ Elves Project imagesβ¦ [link] And since just one bite of these cookies is supposed to be able to keep a full-grown adult on his or her feet for days (according to Elven loreβ¦), I figure this should tide you over nicely until you can come back and visit me again β lol!
I appreciate the support, sweetie!
