# 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!

Current Residence: the Constitution State, USA
Favourite genre of music: Country, Metal, Rock
Favourite style of art: Western, Gothic, Fantasy, Medieval
Operating System: Win XP
Favourite cartoon character: Yosemite Sam
Personal Quote: "You gonna pull those pistols or whistle dixie?"

WDWParksGal In reply to dragon-orb [2013-05-25 23:37:16 +0000 UTC]

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

…It seemed only appropriate for me to send you some Lembas elven shortbread as a way of saying β€œthanks” for the ’s on my 100+ Elves Project images… [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 lore…), I figure this should tide you over nicely until you can come back and visit me again – lol!
I appreciate the support, sweetie!
