Any body care if I use some pictures people posted on here for a flyer for a rockclimbing group around school?

My opinion is that you shouldn't use photos from folks that try to make money off their shots, i.e Wes and Mazz. Those are the only two I can think of that post pictures here but there are probably others.

just take them and don't tell anyone. that's how producers make their beats in rap music.

I don't think hes trying to make money if hes just starting a rock climbing group at school. Hell, i say go for it cause' it will expose more people to this beautiful hobby/sport/whatever you wanna call it.

You can use the photos haas posted in the Shelf Road thread. I don't know if they're close to what you're looking for...

It is considered pretty bad form to use a photo without permission and without credit. If you wish wish to use something of mine, then PM me, and we can see about working something out. And, as I have said before, I am psyched to see my work out there, but if you do use anything of mine, then please be sure to give me credit.

I second Wes and all the others on this one. Contact the photographer for permission and if they allow you to use their images (for free or fee) be sure to give them credit.
When Jill was in grad school a fellow student came to her with this flyer for the UK Climbing Club. She was a RA in a dorm and found the flyers at the front desk and thought Jill might be interested. When Jill saw the flyer she laughed out loud at the sight. On the flyer was a picture of me on Bedtime that JB had taken years ago (it's around this site and kywilderness). There was no photo credit or anything like that on the flyer. Jill's friend couldn't believe it was me until she saw the same photo in a frame sitting on a dresser in our house. So who'd of thought I was big man on campus seven years after I graduated? Yeah I'm hard core, I climbed Bedtime for Bonzo for the 200th time. I'll shut up now.
