Thank you all who have visited my site, ruhlmanphotography-404.com. I'm happy to offer medium resolution files of any of the photos for use on your site. When you see a photo you'd like, just click "MENU," go to "CONTACT," send me the title of the photo you want, and I'll email it to you. They're all under 100KB. It's that easy. If you do post it to the internet, I'd love a credit and link to ruhlman.com if possible.
Thanks again!

How refreshing to see a professional photographer not freaking out about copyright and internet hoodlums "stealing" images.

First, let me thank you for doing this. I've been a HUGE fan of your photography on Michael's blog for several years now, and it's good to see you going out and distributing your content.
Have you considered looking into a Creative Commons license for your work? It would take a lot of the legal ambiguity out of distribution or copying, and you can get your works distributed while having a legally solid license to protect your own rights. Perhaps you'd like to restrict commercial use and/or derivative and legally require attribution. It's all in there, and you should look around to see if it's right for you.

My eyes started to glaze over reading your email--but thank you. The whole idea is to share info and images for free. If someone wants to make a print or use it in high resolution—they can come to me and we'll talk—but for internet stuff I'm glad my work won't be trapped in my computer doing nothing.

I think this is a very generous offer, and I think your generosity should be commended.
Makes the big image people look petty and nefarious.
Good on you.
